Identify Captcha Types on Any Site

Knowing the captcha type is key to solving it effectively.

Common Types

  • reCAPTCHA v2 — "I'm not a robot" checkbox.
  • reCAPTCHA v3 — Invisible, scores your behavior.
  • hCaptcha — Image selection tasks.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile — Privacy-focused alternative.
  • FunCaptcha — Mini-games or puzzles.

How to Inspect

  1. Open DevTools (F12).
  2. Search for iframe elements.
  3. Check the src domain — it often reveals the captcha provider.

Tip: Some captchas are custom; screenshot and compare with known providers.
