Face search has quietly become a standard tool in identity verification workflows. Instead of matching names or documents, you match faces: upload a photo, and the engine finds where that face appears across public pages.
Common use cases
- Hiring: verify a candidate's profile photo before an offer
- Marketplaces: spot sellers reusing stolen profile photos
- Communities: detect ban evaders who create new accounts with the same face
- Dating: check whether a match's photos appear elsewhere under different names
How it works
Modern face search extracts a facial embedding — a numeric fingerprint — and compares it against indexed public pages. Results are ranked by visual similarity.

FaceSearch runs reverse face search in the browser: upload one photo, get matching public pages in seconds. There is also a methodology overview.
Face search complements document checks — it catches the case where a real document is paired with a borrowed selfie. Start at facesearch.net.
