Anime Finder
Upload a screenshot to find the anime, episode and exact timestamp.
Your upload is used only for this search and is not stored by ClipTrack.
How it works & privacy
Your screenshot is processed only to identify the scene. ClipTrack never stores your uploaded image — it’s used for the search and then discarded. More about how this works.
What you get
- The anime title the frame most likely came from
- The episode, when the provider knows it
- The exact timestamp of the scene
- A match confidence, so you can judge a weak result yourself
How to find an anime from a screenshot
Choose a screenshot above, or drag one onto the upload box. Before anything is sent you can crop, rotate or flip it, so only the part that matters is searched.
When you press Find anime, scene matching compares your frame against a large index of anime episodes. Each match shows the anime title, the episode when it is known and the timestamp where the scene appears, with a confidence score so you can tell a strong match from a guess.
If the screenshot has app icons, a status bar or a caption laid over the picture, crop those away first. They are not part of the scene, and they can pull the search towards the wrong result.
What powers the search
Scene matching on ClipTrack is powered by trace.moe, a reverse image search index built from the frames of anime episodes. ClipTrack does not run its own anime-frame index: your screenshot is sent to trace.moe to perform the search, and ClipTrack presents what comes back — the title, the episode and the timestamp.
Matches link to the anime’s page on ClipTrack, where artwork and details come from MyAnimeList through the Jikan API when that service is reachable. Because every search depends on trace.moe, Anime Finder may be unavailable whenever trace.moe is.
What is sent, and what happens to it afterwards, is set out in the Privacy Policy, and every service ClipTrack relies on is listed on the About page.
Tips for a clearer anime match
- Crop out app icons, status bars, borders, black bars, and captions or subtitles laid over the scene.
- Don’t crop deep into the picture itself. Matching compares the whole frame, so a tight close-up usually makes the result worse.
- Use the clearest frame you have. A sharp still straight from the episode works better than a blurry, heavily edited or partly covered screenshot.
- If a match looks wrong, check its confidence — low-confidence matches are labelled — and try another frame from the same scene.
