FlagGeek FOTW Image Search
Upload or drop a flag image and compare it against more than 222,000 indexed flag images connected to the Flags of the World reference material.
About this tool
This is a BETA visual search tool built for flag identification and research. It compares an uploaded image against a local FlagGeek search index based on FOTW-linked flag imagery. The purpose is to help find possible matches, related designs, and useful source pages faster than manual browsing.
The result can be very uneven. A visually similar flag may appear high in the list even when it is not the correct identification, and a correct match may appear lower if the uploaded image is distorted, poorly cropped, faded, photographed at an angle, or dominated by background.
If the first result looks wrong, try cropping tightly around the flag itself, remove background, avoid shadows or table surfaces, and try both search modes. This tool is still being improved, so treat the output as a research lead — not as final proof.
How to use it
- Upload / drop image: Click the preview box or drag an image directly into it.
- Crop: After the image is loaded, drag across the preview to isolate the flag or symbol. Leave uncropped to search the full image.
- Fast: Use this first. It is quicker and works best for clean images and obvious flag designs.
- Deep: Use this when Fast gives weak results, when the image is partial, distorted, unusual, or when the first matches look suspicious.
- Verify manually: Open the returned FOTW page and compare the actual flag, proportions, caption, and context.
