Face search for your photos. Upload a selfie and FaceSearch runs a reverse image search across the public web, so you can find photos of yourself online and see where your face appears. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a selfie or pick a picture from your gallery, then pinch to crop the face. 2. Run a normal face search, or Deep Search for a wider sweep. 3. Review every match with the source page it came from. WHAT YOU GET • Face search and reverse image lookup on publicly available photos • Deep Search when a normal scan is not enough • Source links so you can see the context, not just a thumbnail • History of past scans with filters for Deep search, Normal search, and in-progress jobs • Notifications when a long scan finishes • Referral credits when you invite a friend BUILT AROUND YOUR PRIVACY • Your photo is used to run your search and nothing else • We never sell your images or personal data • Public sources only — nothing behind a login, no private albums • Delete any scan from History, or delete your whole account, whenever you want PLANS Start free with 2 searches. Paid plans add weekly or daily search credits, Deep Search, and every source link unlocked. Subscriptions are billed through the App Store and renew until cancelled.
