Identify seashells from a photo and turn your beach finds into a personal collection. ShellLens combines an AI shell identifier, a seashell guide, and collection folders to help you discover what you found and learn more about it.
Whether you're beachcombing on vacation, sorting shells at home, or exploring marine life with your family, start with a photo and follow your curiosity.
IDENTIFY SHELLS FROM PHOTOS
Take a picture or choose one from your library. ShellLens' updated AI model analyzes the shell's visible features and suggests an identification, with common and scientific names when a match is found.
GET TO KNOW YOUR FIND
Explore identifying features, taxonomy, habitats, geographic distribution, and rarity where available. Learn what makes a shell distinctive and how it differs from similar species.
BUILD YOUR SHELL COLLECTION
Keep your favorite finds together in a visual collection. Create folders for different beaches, trips, or shell types, add folder notes, and choose cover photos. Give every beach day's discoveries a place of their own.
EXPLORE WIKIPEDIA AND SPECIES REFERENCES
Go deeper with Wikipedia articles and photographs where available. Explore additional names, classification, and recorded regions from the World Register of Marine Species, with links to the original sources.
TAKE A SECOND LOOK
Think your shell could be something else? For eligible results, choose a suggested alternative or enter the name you suspect and ask the AI to reconsider the photo. When the image doesn't show enough detail, photo guidance helps you prepare another shot.
REVISIT YOUR DISCOVERIES
Browse your identification history and saved collection. Previously saved shell photos and identification details remain available offline; new identifications and online reference content require an internet connection.
From your first beach find to a growing interest in conchology—the study of shells—ShellLens helps you keep exploring.
Download ShellLens and discover the story behind your next shell.
AI identifications are suggestions and may be incorrect. Available details and reference material vary by result.
