Find where a face appears online.
Upload one photo. Facehunch finds public pages showing the same face, then shows you each page, its link and how close the match is.
Three steps from a photo to real answers.
No account forms, no monthly plan. Sign in with an email code when you run your first search.
Upload a clear photo
A front-facing photo with one face works best. Add a name if you know it, and we will rank pages that mention it higher.
We search the face index
Your photo is compared against faces on public web pages. Your upload is deleted from the search provider when the search finishes.
Open every source
Each result shows the page it came from and a 0–100 similarity score. Your report is saved, and the research assistant can help you check it.
Check the person behind the photo.
Facehunch is built for checking people you are already dealing with, and for protecting your own image.
Check a dating match
Find out if their photos belong to someone else before you meet, send money or share more.
Catfish check
Vet a seller, landlord or new contact
See whether the face behind a listing or a LinkedIn message shows up under another name.
Verify a listing
See where your own photos appear
Search your face to find reposts, scraped profile pictures and sites using your photos without asking.
Audit your footprint
Document an impersonator
Collect every page using your likeness with links and dates, ready for a takedown or platform report.
Build a reportA report you can actually check.
Results come with the page each face was found on, so you judge the context yourself instead of trusting a thumbnail.

What is a reverse face search?
A reverse face search takes a photo of a face and looks for other public web pages that show a similar face. Unlike Google Lens or TinEye, which look for copies of the same image, a face search can find different photos of the same-looking person: a conference photo, a team page or an old profile picture.
How much does Facehunch cost?
Searches are prepaid: $9 for one, $29 for five or $49 for ten. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal and credits do not expire. One credit runs one search, including a search that returns no matches. See pricing.
Where do the results come from?
Facehunch searches the FaceCheck.ID face index of public web pages, then adds name-aware ranking, a saved report and a research assistant on top. Every result links to the page it was found on, so you can check the context yourself.
Is a high similarity score proof of identity?
No. A score tells you how alike two faces look, not who someone is. Lookalikes are common. Treat a strong match as a lead, open the source page and confirm with other evidence before acting on it.
Do you keep the photo I upload?
No. Your photo is sent to the search provider for the search only, and we ask for it to be removed when the search finishes or is cancelled. The results (source links and thumbnails) are saved to your private report so you can reopen them. Read the privacy notice.
Who is it for?
People checking that someone they already talk to is real: a dating match, a seller, a landlord or a new business contact. It is also for finding where your own photos are used and for documenting impersonation. It is not for identifying strangers, and searching children is not allowed.
Can it find private Instagram or Facebook photos?
No. Only publicly reachable pages can appear. Private accounts, closed groups and pages that block indexing will not show up, so an empty result does not mean a person has no online presence.
Search smarter, stay safe.
