Free reverse face search engine
Upload one photo. Face Search AI finds everywhere that face appears on the public web, in seconds.
Process
A profile picture, a screenshot, a crop from a group shot. If a face is visible, the engine can work with it. Drag, drop, done.
Your photo becomes an abstract string of numbers. Math, not a picture. The image itself is processed in memory and discarded when the search ends.
Those numbers are compared across our index of the public web in seconds. You get every credible match, scored by confidence and traced to its source.
An array of numbers that can find a face without ever storing it. Not a photo. Not reversible into one.
Results
Every search is free to run. Every result tells you what was found before you decide whether to look closer. Pay only when you need the source.
How many credible matches exist, and how sure the engine is. Often that alone answers the question; three matches on dating profiles under different names is a story in itself.
Enough to recognize a context like a profile grid, a news page, or a forum, without exposing anyone's image to a casual glance.
The unblurred image, the exact page it lives on, and when we first saw it there. Follow the trail to its origin.
A precise 0–100 similarity score for every result, so you can separate a near-certain match from a passing resemblance.
Step 02 · Searching the web
Scroll pushes the query deeper into the index: news sites, social profiles, forums, archives. Millions of faces, compared in parallel. Only public pages. Nothing behind a login.
Step 03 · Your results
Every face in the index is compared to yours. The weak ones fall away. Only real matches reach you. Thumbnails here are synthetic demo avatars, redacted until a search is verified.
Who searches
Their photos are charming, their story moves fast, and the money question is coming. One search shows whether that face belongs to the person you're talking to, or to a stranger whose pictures were stolen.
Before a first date or a marketplace handoff, confirm the person is who their profile says they are. Two minutes of checking beats an evening of doubt.
An old friend, a birth parent, a comrade from another life. Names change; faces mostly don't. Start from the one photo you kept.
Journalists, fact-checkers, and OSINT researchers use face search to confirm identities, trace recycled propaganda imagery, and connect a face in a photo to a public record.
Search yourself. Find the fake account using your photos, the old image you thought was gone, the site that scraped your portrait. Then act, with the URL in hand.
When a stranger befriends someone you love online, check who's really behind the profile photo. Quiet reassurance, or an early warning that matters.
Guardrails
Finding a person from a face is intimate. We built the rules first and the engine second. The rules are not settings you can turn off.
Photos you search with are processed in memory and deleted when the search completes. They are never added to the index, never used for training, never seen by staff.
We index pages anyone can open in a browser. No private accounts, no CCTV, no government or law-enforcement databases, and no exceptions for sale.
Removing your face from Face Search AI results is free, takes one form, and applies permanently across all plans. No account required.
Stalking, harassment, and searches that appear to target minors are blocked by policy and by automated review. Violations mean a permanent ban, and a report where the law requires one.

Questions
Searching publicly available images is lawful in most places, and Face Search AI only indexes the public web. Biometric-privacy laws differ by region, so the service is unavailable where it can't operate compliantly. We geofence rather than cut corners.
No. Searches query our index, not the source websites, so nothing touches the other person's accounts and no notification exists to send. Your search history is private to you and deletable at any time.
On clear, front-facing photos, strong matches (90+ confidence) are correct the overwhelming majority of the time. Accuracy drops with heavy blur, extreme angles, or very low resolution, which is why every match carries a confidence score instead of a flat yes.
It's converted to a numeric code, compared against the index, and deleted when the search ends. Uploads are never stored, never added to the index, never used to train models, and never visible to staff.
Yes. Free, permanent, and available to everyone whether or not you have an account. Verify that the face is yours, and matching results are suppressed across all plans, including paid ones. Free, permanent opt-outs are available on every plan.
Millions of public websites: news archives, public social profiles, forums, company pages, event galleries, and the open web at large. Never private or logged-in content, and never surveillance or government databases.
