DeepSeek Can't See Images. I Fixed It.

The Problem

DeepSeek is smart, fast, and cheap. But it can't see images.

Every time I wanted to ask about a photo, screenshot, or diagram, I had to switch to another AI. It was annoying.

So I built a fix.

What It Does

Upload any image + ask a question. The tool uses GLM-4V for vision recognition, then passes the description to DeepSeek for reasoning. You get DeepSeek's intelligence with the ability to see.

It also works without images — just ask questions like normal DeepSeek.

Features

  • 📷 Image recognition — upload photos, screenshots, diagrams
  • 💬 Text chat — same DeepSeek you know
  • 🌐 Web search toggle — flip it on for real-time info
  • 🆓 100% free — no signup, no limits

Try It

Built in a few hours. Uses DeepSeek API + GLM-4V. The code is a single Python file. If you want to self-host, DM me.


Feedback welcome. What should I add next?
