# ALPR Vue: License Plate Recognition in Your Browser

> ALPR Vue detects and reads vehicle license plates in your browser — live camera, photo, or video. No server, no account, and fully private.

ALPR Vue is a free, browser-based tool for automatic license plate recognition (ALPR). Point your camera at a vehicle or upload a photo or video, and the app instantly detects and reads the plate — right on your device. No account needed, no internet connection required after the first load, and your images never leave your phone or computer.
