Face Search AI

Face Search AI is a reverse face search engine that takes one photo and finds public web pages where that face appears. It offers a free daily tier, paid plans for source URLs, an API, and a free opt-out for anyone who wants their face removed.

Face Search AI is a reverse face search engine. A user uploads a single photo, and the service looks for public web pages where the same face shows up, then returns the matches with a confidence band and a first-seen date. The index covers news archives, public social profiles, forums, company pages and event galleries. It excludes private or logged-in content, CCTV, and government or law-enforcement databases. The typical audience is people who need to check an identity. Romance-scam targets and their families use it to see whether a profile photo belongs to the person they are talking to. Online daters and marketplace buyers use it before meeting someone. Journalists, fact-checkers and OSINT researchers use it to trace recycled imagery, and creators run it on themselves to find fake accounts or scraped portraits. Parents and guardians form a further group, checking who stands behind a stranger's profile picture. In practice the flow is short. The uploaded image is converted into a numeric code rather than stored as a face, and that code is compared against the index. The site states that the original photo is deleted automatically within about 15 minutes and is never added to a searchable collection or used for training. Free searches show the match count, a confidence band, blurred preview thumbnails and first-seen dates. Paid plans unlock full thumbnails and source URLs, and the pricing page lists search history, saved cases and a REST API for developers. Per-match confidence scores are marked as coming soon. Among alternatives, it sits at the accessible end of the face search category: a no-signup free tier, low monthly plans and a published opt-out process that anyone can use without an account. The operator also lists policy limits, including blocks on stalking, harassment and searches that appear to target minors, and a note that search is unavailable in some regions. Accuracy is described as strong on clear, front-facing photos and weaker on blur, extreme angles or low resolution.
