Face Search Engine
Find Someone by Face
Use a face as your search query. Our advanced facial recognition technology scans social media platforms to find someone from just a photo of their face.
Why Find Someone by Face?
A face is the most powerful identifier - use it to search the social web.
Face-Based Search
Unlike traditional searches that rely on names or usernames, our technology uses the face itself as the search query. A clear view of someone's face is all you need to find them online.
Precision Matching Algorithm
Our AI maps over 100 unique facial landmarks to create a biometric signature. This means we match faces, not just images - finding someone even in photos they have never shared before.
Worldwide Platform Coverage
Search social media platforms simultaneously - Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more. One face search covers the entire social web.
Confidential Face Searches
All face data is processed in real time and immediately discarded. We never store your photos or search results. The person you search for is never alerted or notified.

Face Search Technology
Biometric Face Encoding
Every face is converted into a unique mathematical representation. This encoding captures the precise geometry and proportions that make each face identifiable, even across different photos.
Angle & Expression Tolerance
Our AI handles variations in head tilt, facial expression, lighting conditions, and partial obstructions. Find someone by face even from imperfect or candid photos.
Age-Resistant Matching
Facial bone structure remains consistent over time. Our technology focuses on these stable features, allowing you to find someone from older photos even if their appearance has changed.
Real-Time Processing
Results are delivered within seconds. Our distributed search infrastructure compares your face query against billions of profiles simultaneously for near-instant matches.
Find a Person by Photo - Even If You Only Have One Picture
Whether you call it finding a person by photo, finding people by picture, or searching someone with an image, the process is the same: the face in your picture becomes the search query. You do not need a name, a username, or any other detail - one reasonably clear picture is enough to start.
The picture itself can come from anywhere. Camera roll photos, screenshots, cropped images, and older pictures all work. If your photo shows several people, the app detects each face separately and you choose which person to search - useful for event photos and group shots where you only know one person in the frame.
This is also where face search beats general tools like Google reverse image search or Yandex: those match the image file and only find places the exact photo was posted. A face search finds the person, in photos they have never shared with you, across social media platforms. The app is free to download; searches require a subscription with optional credit top-ups.
Who Uses Face Search?
Real people finding real connections through face recognition.
Dating App Verification
Before meeting a match in person, search their face to confirm their identity. Find Instagram profiles and other social media accounts to protect yourself from catfishing or romance scams.
Reconnect After Events
Met someone at a networking event, concert, or while traveling? If you have a photo with their face, you can find their social profiles without needing their contact details.
Research & Investigation
Journalists, researchers, and investigators use facial recognition search to verify identities, cross-reference profiles, and uncover online activity associated with a specific individual.

Face Search Success Stories
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a person by photo?
Open the Facial Recognition app, upload a photo from your gallery or take one with the camera. The app detects the face, maps its unique features, and compares it against billions of indexed public profiles. Matching accounts appear within seconds, ranked by similarity.
How accurate is finding someone by face?
Our facial recognition achieves high accuracy by mapping over 100 unique facial landmarks. The clearer the face in your photo, the better the results. Even partial or angled faces can produce strong matches.
Can I find multiple people from one group picture?
Yes. The app automatically detects every face in a group photo and lets you select each one individually. You can run a separate search for each person from the same uploaded picture.
Does it work with screenshots from videos?
Yes. You can upload screenshots from videos, video calls, social media stories, or any other source. As long as a face is reasonably visible, our AI can process it and search for matches.
What if the person has changed their appearance?
Our technology focuses on underlying facial bone structure and geometry, which remain consistent regardless of hairstyle changes, aging, glasses, or makeup. This makes matching resilient to appearance changes - even old pictures can match current profiles.
What makes this better than Google reverse image search?
Google matches images, not faces. It finds copies of the exact photo you upload, so it returns nothing for a picture that has never been posted online. Face search analyzes the face itself, finding the person in completely different photos across social media.
How does it compare to PimEyes or Yandex?
Yandex is a general reverse image tool that returns exact and similar images. PimEyes searches the open web for a face but is web-only. The Facial Recognition app is a mobile-first face search focused on finding social media profiles, with standard App Store and Google Play billing.
How much does it cost to find someone by face?
The app is free to download on iOS and Android. Searches require a subscription that includes search credits, with optional credit top-ups available as in-app purchases. Open the app to see current plans and pricing.
Is face search legal to use?
Searching publicly available profiles is legal in most places, and that is all the app does. Laws vary by country, so use results responsibly - for verification, safety, and reconnecting - never for stalking, harassment, or discrimination.
