## FAQ[¶](#faq "Permanent link")

### What are the Capacitor ML Kit plugins?[¶](#what-are-the-capacitor-ml-kit-plugins "Permanent link")

They are packages that expose Google's native ML Kit SDKs through a unified JavaScript API, letting you run on-device machine learning in a Capacitor app without writing native code yourself. To learn more about the underlying SDKs, see the [official Google ML Kit documentation](https://developers.google.com/ml-kit).

### Are these ML Kit plugins free?[¶](#are-these-ml-kit-plugins-free "Permanent link")

Yes. All ML Kit plugins listed here are open source and free to use.

### Which platforms do the plugins support?[¶](#which-platforms-do-the-plugins-support "Permanent link")

The plugins support Android and iOS, with selected plugins also supporting the Web. The supported platforms are listed at the top of each plugin's documentation page.

### How do I get support?[¶](#how-do-i-get-support "Permanent link")

For bugs and feature requests, open an issue on the plugin's GitHub repository. For dedicated help, see our [support options](/docs/support/).
