Is searching someone's face legal?

facesearching only indexes publicly available web pages. You must have the right to search a given image — for example, your own face, or an image you own or have permission to use. We do not support stalking, harassment, or searching minors.

What happens to my photo after the search?

Your uploaded photo is used only to run the search and is deleted immediately afterward. We do not store, train models on, or redistribute your images. Consent is required before every search.

Can this help me spot a scammer or catfish?

Yes. If someone is using a fake identity or stolen photos, a face search can reveal where that face actually appears online — social media, news, scam reports, or video sites. This helps you verify if the person you're talking to is who they claim to be.

What sources do you search?

We scan publicly available social media profiles, news articles, blogs, and video sites. We do not access private accounts, paywalled content, or anything behind a login. Each result includes a confidence score and a direct link to the source.

How accurate are the results?

Each result includes a confidence score so you can judge the likelihood of a match. Results are drawn from public pages and should be treated as leads to review, not as definitive identification.

Do I need an account to search?

You can run a single search without an account, but signing in lets you manage credits, review past searches, and access higher-volume packs. Credits never expire as long as your account is active.
