Google Cloud Vision API

Derive insight from images with our powerful Cloud Vision API. Image analysis with pretrained models. Homepage

Integrates Google Vision features, including image labeling, face, logo, and landmark detection, optical character recognition (OCR), and detection of explicit content, into applications.

How it works? You’ll get $300 credit to use for up to 60 days. You won’t be charged until you upgrade your account, and you can cancel at any time.

Use Google APIs. Enable APIS, create credentials and track your usage.
