How Does Fish AI Scan Work?

Measure your catch with AI, identify fish species, and estimate size directly from your photo 🎣

What You Get

Fish AI Scan uses AI technology to analyze your catch photo and help you better understand your fish.

When you upload a photo, Fishbox can:

  1. Identify the fish species

  2. Estimate its weight

  3. Estimate its length

  4. Optionally let you share your catch with the Fishbox community

Currently available only in the USA, Australia, and Japan. In Japan, Fish AI Scan is limited to AI measurement, and community sharing is not available yet.


How to Use It

  • To begin, open the Community tab from the bottom menu.

In Japan, use the Scan tab instead 🇯🇵

  • From there, you can start measuring by tapping: Measure My Catch, Measure, or Join Challenge. All lead to the same Upload Your Photo screen.


Photo Rules

For best accuracy, make sure your photo meets these rules:

✔️ Allowed

  • One adult holding one fish

  • Fish fully visible (not cropped)

  • Neutral, clean background

❌ Not Allowed

  • Children in photo

  • Multiple fish

  • Cropped or partially hidden fish

  • Inappropriate content

Accuracy can vary depending on photo quality. Clear, high-quality images allow the AI to perform best.


Sharing Your Catch

At the bottom of the upload screen, you’ll see a toggle. This toggle determines whether your measured catch stays private or is shared with the Fishbox community.


When Sharing Is Off

  • Your fish is measured only

  • It stays private

  • It will not appear in feeds, rankings, or challenges

When Sharing Is On

Your catch becomes part of the community system.
