Choose a picture and see the public web pages where a visually similar face already appears, each match ranked by similarity and linked to its original source. WHY PEOPLE USE FACESEARCH • Protect your own images: find out where pictures of you have been republished, then request removal. • Spot fake profiles: check whether a dating or social profile photo was taken from someone else before you trust it. • Catch reused or stolen photos: see if a picture you were sent already exists elsewhere online. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose a clear photo of a face 2. Confirm you have the right to search it 3.
