A screenshot, a photo of the screen, a meme or a video — as long as the scene itself is visible.

We find the anime and episode
Your frame is compared with frames from the episodes themselves, so the answer is a specific episode, not just a title.

Watch from that moment
The “Watch from 12:34” button opens the episode right at that scene.

Meme or crop
If the scene is visible under the captions. The less text on top, the better.
Photo of a screen
A shot of a TV or monitor — straight and without glare.
Video file
MP4 or WebM up to 25 MB — a downloaded edit, for example.
Not yet
YouTube and VK links, and fan art — only frames from the episodes themselves. You can download a video and upload the file.
FAQ
Ask away… I'm not asleep
How do I find an anime by screenshot?
Drop the image onto the search screen, paste it with Ctrl+V or give a link to it. In a couple of seconds you'll see the anime, the episode and the minute of the scene.
Can I find an anime from a TikTok video?
Yes. Paste the video link or upload the file — we take up to three frames from it and show the best match.
Why wasn't the anime found?
Most often the frame is heavily edited: borders, big text, mirroring, filters. Sometimes the episode is too new to be in the database yet, or it isn't a frame from the anime at all — fan art, a music video, an ad. Try another frame from the same scene.
How accurate is the result?
The match percentage is shown next to the answer. At 90% and above it's almost always the right scene. We don't show matches below 80% — they're almost always wrong.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Free and no sign-in. The trace.moe service has a limit of 100 searches a month per internet address; a video uses up to three.
Do you store my images?
No. The image goes to trace.moe straight from your browser; we only receive the ID of the anime found, to show its page.
The anime was found but isn't on the site — what now?
We still show its title, episode and minute. Titles missing from the catalog can't be watched here — you can look the title up elsewhere.
Search is powered by trace.moe, an open anime scene search service. Your image goes there straight from your browser and isn't stored by us.
