WhoIsThisFace
Search by face, not by name
Names lie. Faces are much harder to fake. When you search by face, you skip the guesswork of spelling variations, fake names, and common-name collisions, and go straight to the one identifier that follows a person across every platform they touch.
WhoIsThisFace lets you run that search in about a minute: upload a photo, get a scored list of every public page where the face appears, and decide for yourself whether the person checks out.
Why face search beats name search
A name search drowns you in ambiguity. 'Mike Johnson' returns thousands of people, and a fake name returns a fiction. Even a real name only finds what the person chose to attach to it — which is exactly what a scammer curates.
A face search has no such problem. There's exactly one geometry per face, and it doesn't change when someone renames an account, switches platforms, or claims a different city. If the same face runs three profiles under three names, face search connects them instantly.
How to run a face search
The flow is deliberately simple. Drag a photo onto the upload box — or paste it straight from your clipboard — confirm you're human, and wait about a minute. JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 5 MB are accepted, and one clear face per photo works best.
You'll first see the free summary: how many matches exist and which domains they're on. That's often enough for a quick sanity check. When you need the receipts — the exact profile URLs and thumbnails — a one-time unlock of $3.99 (or $3.59 in crypto) opens the full report for that search.
What shows up in results
Results span the public web: mainstream social networks, dating platforms, forums, personal blogs, business pages, and image-heavy sites of every kind. Each hit is scored by facial similarity, so the strongest matches sort to the top.
Every result links out to the original page. We don't host, mirror, or editorialize — the search is a pointer to what's already public, with a score telling you how confident the match is. Scores above 90 are near-certain; 70 to 90 warrants eyeballing; below that, treat as a maybe.
Privacy on both sides
Your side: no account, no email, no stored uploads. The photo you submit is deleted once the search completes, and the person you searched is never notified. The only thing we keep is the result set, so you can return to it.
Their side: everything surfaced is already public. Face search doesn't break into private accounts or pull from closed apps — it organizes what the open web already shows. That boundary matters to us, and it's why the index stays usable and legal.
One more boundary worth stating plainly: face search is for verification, not surveillance. Use it to check people you plan to meet, hire, or trust — and to audit your own footprint. If the motivation is a dispute, a breakup, or curiosity about a stranger, the honest move is to leave it alone. The tool works best when everyone on both sides would consider the search fair.
Frequently asked questions
Is searching by face accurate?
Modern face embeddings are extremely good at matching the same person across different photos, lighting, and ages. Every match carries a similarity score so you can weigh confidence yourself instead of taking a binary yes/no on faith.
Can I search by face on my phone?
Yes. The whole flow is mobile-first: upload straight from your camera roll or paste a screenshot, and results render in a simple grid designed for small screens.
What image formats and sizes work?
JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 5 MB. Crop group photos to the face you care about, and prefer sharp, front-facing shots without heavy beauty filters for the strongest matches.
How much does it cost to search by face?
Searching is free and shows match counts plus domains. Unlocking full links and thumbnails for a search is a one-time $3.99 by card or $3.59 in crypto — no subscription, no credits to manage.
