Upload a tartan photo.
We'll find your clan.

Tartan Lens uses advanced pattern recognition to compare your photo against our database of 5,000+ registered tartans. Accuracy depends on photo quality and lighting, but our system typically achieves 80-95% confidence for clear photos. We always show alternative matches so you can verify the results.

While we have an extensive database, some tartans may be rare, custom, or not officially registered. In these cases, we'll show you the closest matches. If your tartan isn't in our system, contact us and we may be able to help identify it or create a custom order.

For best results: take a close-up photo in natural daylight, lay the fabric flat without wrinkles, capture a section that shows the full pattern repeat, and avoid flash or harsh shadows. The more complete pattern cycles visible, the better the match accuracy.

No! Tartan Lens is completely free to use. You can identify as many tartans as you like without any obligation to purchase. We hope you'll find something you love, but there's no pressure. It's our way of helping people discover their Scottish heritage.
