TickWarden Identify a tick

Online tick identifier

Upload a tick photo.

We first check that the file opens as a supported photo type. If it does, one $4.99 payment starts AI analysis and unlocks your identification report.

For the best chance of a species match:

  • — Photograph the back from directly above.
  • — Use bright, indirect light and tap the tick to focus.
  • — Keep the tick safely contained while taking the photo.

Uploading is free. If the file is usable, you can purchase one private identification for $4.99. Analysis starts only after payment.
