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.
