ID-Art uses cutting-edge image-recognition software to help identify stolen cultural property, reduce illicit trafficking, and increase the chances of recovering stolen items.

Key features

•	Report cultural sites potentially at risk. 

Search INTERPOL’s database
Use the app to instantly check if an object is among the 50,000 items currently registered in INTERPOL’s Stolen Works of Art database.

Searches can be carried out by taking or uploading a photo, or by entering search criteria manually.

Create an inventory
Using international standards known as ‘Object ID’, capture images and record features of beloved works of art to help keep track of collections. 

In the event of a theft, these records can be provided to law enforcement, greatly enhancing the chances of recovery.

### 2/5 — Search

*2025-11-05*

The manual search function does not work. You cannot enter a name or title and you have to scroll through thousand works.

### 1/5 — Search

*2025-10-17*

The search doesn’t allow for typing in a search. You have to scroll through things that you don’t want to search, like over 1000’s and 1000’s of items. Who has time or interest in that? Please make search a real search. Thank you.
