Photograph the marking
Fill the frame with the IC top mark or package silk-screen. Avoid heavy glare and keep text readable — the same way you’d ask a colleague “what is this marking?”
Chip Marking Lookup
Identify Chip Markings from a Phone Photo
Snap a clear photo of an IC silk-screen or top marking. PartGenie reads visible text, suggests candidate MPNs, and helps you open the datasheet — without promising authenticity certification.
Drop a chip photo here
PNG, JPG, or WebP of a clear marking. We’ll open chat to identify the part.
PNG / JPG / WebP · Max 25 MB · Clear focus works best

How It Works
Read marking → candidate MPNs
PartGenie uses the same image chat path as the app: it reads visible text, proposes likely manufacturer part numbers, and links into the catalog for follow-up.
Open datasheet or keep chatting
Continue in chat to pull datasheet context, pinout questions, or hand off to Alternative Finder when you already know the MPN and need a replacement.
Use Cases
Built for Real Bench and Field Photos
ID a mystery IC before ordering a replacement
- Read top marks like EL817 or similar optocouplers
- Shortlist candidate MPNs from a phone photo
- Continue into datasheet or substitute workflows
What This Tool Is For
Photo → readable marking → MPN candidates → datasheet or next step. It is a visual entry into PartGenie chat, not a counterfeit lab.
IC silk-screen and top marks
Common discrete and IC markings when the photo is sharp enough to read.
Datasheet follow-up
After a candidate MPN appears, continue with Datasheet AI-style questions in chat.
Hand-off to alternatives
When you already have an MPN, use Alternative Finder for pin/function replacements.
Marking format awareness (not authenticity guarantees)
FAQ notes may mention typical marking patterns and grey-market red flags. PartGenie does not certify genuine parts.
