PictureCloud: Cloud Identifier

Identify clouds from a photo with PictureCloud, an offline AI cloud identifier and field guide. Take a picture or choose one from your gallery to identify likely cloud types such as cumulus, cirrus, stratus, and cumulonimbus.

Your photos stay on your phone. PictureCloud runs entirely on-device, works offline and requires no account or photo uploads.

Take a photo or choose one from your gallery, frame the cloud area, and receive a ranked list of likely cloud types. PictureCloud also shows distinguishing features to help you understand what makes each cloud genus unique.

PictureCloud is an educational field guide. It is not a weather forecast and should not be used for aviation, outdoor safety, or other critical decisions.
