Face Index

What Face Index is

Face Index runs a face-based search across public internet sources. Upload an image and it looks for related results in social media, scam reports, videos, detention photographs and dating profiles, with a limited number of free searches.

What you can do with it

• Check whether an image appears in scam reports
• Verify a profile photo against public sources
• Look for reuse of your own image
• Review matches across video and profiles
• Document what public sources contain

Who it is for

• People checking images they were sent
• Users verifying their own photo usage
• Fraud investigators working with consent

What to watch out for

• Searching someone's face without consent is surveillance, and sources such as detention records make results especially sensitive
• Matches are probabilistic; a wrong match tied to arrest or scam data can destroy someone's reputation
• Aggregating public records by face creates a profile of a person they did not agree to
• Never use it on children or to monitor people you know without their explicit agreement
