FAQ

What input methods are supported for movie identification?

You can search using multiple methods: text descriptions of plot scenes, famous quotes, atmosphere and mood descriptions, or by uploading images for identification. The more specific and detailed your description is, the higher the accuracy. We recommend recalling as many details as possible — including approximate era, genre style, actor characteristics, and iconic scenes — as these all help the AI match the correct film more precisely.

How accurate are the identification results?

Based on user feedback, approximately 86% of users find their target movie among our generated results. We use the latest and most powerful AI models (including GPT and Gemini), enhanced with specialized training on the TMDB movie database to continuously improve identification quality. Results are ranked by match probability, and each includes movie details so you can make the final confirmation yourself.

What types of movies can be identified?

Theoretically, any film from anywhere in the world can be identified — Hollywood blockbusters, Chinese-language films, Japanese and Korean cinema, European films, Bollywood productions, and more. Genres span drama, action, sci-fi, thriller, romance, horror, comedy, war films, documentaries, and all other major categories. The identification scope depends on TMDB's database coverage and whether your clues are detailed enough to pinpoint a specific film.

Is there a free tier or do I need to pay?

New users receive a limited number of free searches for trial use. If you want ongoing access, you can upgrade to a paid monthly membership for continued use. Check the pricing page for the latest subscription details, or contact support if you have questions.

Will my search content be collected or used for AI training?

Absolutely not. We take user privacy seriously. All search content you submit is used solely for that individual identification request and is never saved, collected, or used for any form of AI model training. Your search history will not be used for any other purpose — you can use the service with complete peace of mind.

What if multiple candidate movies are shown in the results?

Results are ranked by match probability, from highest to lowest. Each candidate includes basic movie information (year, director, cast, plot summary, etc.). We recommend cross-referencing these details with your own memory to make the final judgment. If you're still unsure, try refining your description and searching again — using a different narrative angle or adding more remembered quote details — as multiple verification attempts greatly increase your chances of finding the correct answer.
