Install offline/embedded mode

Offline mode: Identify plants without an internet connection

Offline mode is an optimized and compressed version of the Pl@ntNet identification model, designed to allow you to identify plants even without an internet connection. This model is exclusively available on the mobile application.

Preparing for offline mode

To use offline mode, you must first download the offline model. This basic model provides species lists without illustrations. You can enrich this experience by downloading compressed thumbnails of the floras corresponding to the regions or plant groups that interest you. These thumbnails will allow the model to provide identifications accompanied by images.

Steps to download and activate offline mode

  1. Activate embedded identification

Go to the home page of the Identification menu and activate the Embedded identification option.

  1. Download the offline model

Follow the instructions to download the embedded data.

  1. Add additional data
    • Go to the Additional data section.
    • Click on Add data to download.
    • Select the floras you want to integrate into the offline model.
    • Download the associated thumbnails.

Once the download is complete, you can activate and deactivate offline mode directly from the home screen, as needed.

Returning to online mode

When you switch back to online mode:

  • Your offline observations are accessible.

  • You can share them with the community.

  • It is recommended to rerun your online identifications, as the online model is updated more frequently and generally offers better performance.
