Face finder
Face finder for social and dating profiles
Give the face finder one photo and it looks through public social networks, dating platforms, image hosts and web pages for the same person. Every hit is grouped by category so you can see the whole footprint at a glance.
- Social networks: Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, Facebook
- Dating apps: Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and regional platforms
- Image hosts, reposts and stolen photo copies
- Blogs, forums, news archives and directories
Looking for one specific picture instead of a person? Use the reverse image search.
Reverse image searchFind fake accounts using your photos
Stolen profile pictures are the most common form of catfishing. A face finder scan surfaces accounts that use your face under a different name, so you can report them to the platform with evidence in hand.
- Screenshot the profile and copy its URL before reporting
- Report under impersonation, not spam — it is handled faster
- Keep the report link, platforms often ask for a second submission
- Turn on monitoring so a new copy does not go unnoticed
Verify who you are talking to
Before a first date or a private sale, one scan shows whether the photos belong to a consistent, long-lived online identity or whether the same face appears under several unrelated names. The confirmation step during the scan lets you tell our model which candidates really are the person.
Signals that a profile is not genuine
The face finder gives you the raw matches; these patterns tell you how to read them.
- The same face appears under two or more different names
- The photos trace back to a stock library or an influencer account
- Every picture is a studio-perfect portrait with no everyday photos
- The face matches nothing at all, which often means an AI-generated image
Built for mobile and desktop
The face finder works fully in the browser. On the phone you can shoot a selfie and start the scan in two taps; on desktop you can drag a photo into the upload area. The report layout adapts to both.
Keep watching after the first scan
A single scan is a snapshot. New profiles appear weeks later, especially when a stolen photo circulates. Face monitoring re-runs the search for you and sends an alert when a fresh match crosses the similarity threshold you set.
How to use the face finder
Choose the photo the accounts would use
If you are hunting fake profiles, upload the picture that was stolen — it is the one those accounts publish.
Run the scan
Detection happens in your browser, then the search runs across public social, dating and web sources.
Confirm the early candidates
Marking the first hits as the same person or not sharpens the ranking of the remaining results.
Act on the matches
Report impersonating accounts, request removals, or start monitoring to catch new copies automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Can a face finder search dating apps?
We search publicly reachable dating profiles and photos indexed from those platforms. Private accounts and content behind a login are not included.
How many photos do I need?
One is enough. A second photo from a different angle can improve the ranking, and you can always run another scan.
Is using a face finder legal?
Searching public information is generally legal, but what you may do with it depends on your country. Never use a report for harassment, stalking or discrimination.
What if the face finder returns no matches?
That usually means the person has no public photos, or the source photo is too small, blurry or angled for reliable detection. Try a sharper, front-facing picture before concluding there is nothing to find.
Can I find someone on Instagram or TikTok by photo?
Only if their account is public. Public profile and post photos can match; private accounts are not searchable by anyone, including us.
