## What is TickPic?

TickPic is your pocket field guide and safety companion for ticks across North America. Whether you're hiking, camping, walking the dog, or just enjoying the backyard, TickPic helps you identify ticks, understand the risks, and know what to do next.

IDENTIFY A TICK IN SECONDS Point your camera or upload a photo and TickPic's AI identifies the tick, with a confidence score and likely alternatives. Not sure if it's even a tick? TickPic will tell you that too.

LEARN FROM A TRUSTED FIELD GUIDE Explore 9 North American tick species in depth — identifying marks, the diseases they can carry, seasonal activity, habitat, hosts, and safe removal steps. Plus clear, CDC-aligned articles: how to check yourself, your kids, and your pets; how to remove a tick safely; how to tick-proof your yard; and what to do after a bite.

MAP YOUR FINDINGS Browse a map of example sightings to see the kinds of ticks active across the continent, and log your own finds with species, photo, and location. (A shared community map is coming in a future update.)

STAY ON TOP OF BITES (Premium) Log a bite and follow a guided, CDC-aligned 30-day symptom watch with a doctor-ready summary you can share. Keep tick-check routines for your family and pets, with reminders after every outing.

A QUICK BREAK Tick Smash is a fast, lighthearted mini-game — because learning about ticks doesn't have to be all serious.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN TickPic is local-first. There are no accounts and no logins. Your scans, logs, and settings stay on your device. Scan photos are sent securely to our AI partner only to return a result and are not stored or used to train AI — and we ask your consent first. You can delete everything any time.
