Posted 12 Sep 2026

It can take a playful peek from folklore cues — not a medical sexing. First photo is free.

Yes — as a party trick. Photograph the print in your hand, a screenshot from the clinic email, or the monitor itself. The site looks for folklore cues people have whispered about for years: the nub angle, a round skull, the way the baby is lying.

It is not a sonographer. It will not replace NIPT, anatomy week, or the person holding the probe. If the photo is not a fetal scan, it will say so and ask for another.

A clear, well-lit picture of baby works best. Avoid a photo of your living room, a bump selfie, or a screenshot of someone else’s announcement. The first peek is free; extra peeks are Plus.

When you are ready, upload from your gallery or take a photo of the print. Open the sealed peek on this device — friends never see that result unless you share it.
