“I document flags for a living — proportions, official colour references, adoption dates, the lot. FindMyFlag is that catalogue turned around: instead of knowing the name and looking up the flag, you start with the photo.”
Why it exists
Flag references are organised by name. That is no help when you have a photograph and no name — a banner over a town hall, an ensign in the background of an old family picture, a colour in a museum case. The question is always the same, and there was no good way to ask it.
How it is built
On the catalogue behind FlagGeek.net: construction sheets, colour specifications and adoption dates, each entry tied to the sources that verify it. Matching reads geometry rather than pixels, which is why the answer can cite a document.
What it will not do
Your photograph is used to run the match and then discarded. There is no account to create, no tracking, and no use of uploads for training. Where the catalogue cannot answer confidently, it says so instead of guessing.
