ZERO-SHOT IMAGE CLASSIFIER · RUNS ON YOUR DEVICE
Classify any image against labels you type—no dataset, no training. MobileCLIP-S0 embeds the image and each label, then ranks the labels by similarity.
Powered by Apple MobileCLIP
Questions
More toolsWhat does zero-shot mean?
The model was never trained on your labels. It compares the image embedding with a text embedding of each label, so any phrase can be a class.
How do I write good labels?
Use short, concrete noun phrases and keep the template on. Add a catch-all like “something else” to see whether the model is unsure.
Is this MobileCLIP2?
No. The browser tool uses MobileCLIP-S0, the first-generation model ported to Transformers.js. MobileCLIP2 runs locally with Python; see the guide.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Embedding happens in a Web Worker in your browser. Only the model files are downloaded from Hugging Face on first use.
