Every major platform, and more
We only search publicly indexed data — public profiles, public posts, public pages. No private accounts, no DMs, no surveillance feeds.
How does a free face search work?
Upload a clear face photo
JPG, PNG or WEBP, up to 10MB. Front-facing, eyes visible, one face in frame works best. No account needed.
We scan the public web
The engine compares the facial geometry against millions of public pages. You see candidates ranked by match confidence as they arrive.
Click through to verify
Every match has a source URL. Open the page to confirm the context, then act on what you find. The result page is yours to keep.
Why is Face Search AI free?
We index only the public web, ask for nothing up front, and delete uploads as soon as the search completes. No surveillance, no surprise renewals, no dark patterns.
Genuinely free (3 per day, anonymous)
No card, no signup, no auto-trial. Drop a photo and see matches. Three searches per day per visitor is enough for almost every casual use.
Sub-15-second results
Match candidates start arriving inside ~5 seconds; the engine keeps scanning for ~30 seconds total. Free searches use the same engine as paid.
Public web only
We crawl pages anyone can open in a browser. No private accounts, no CCTV, no government data. Opt-out is free and permanent.
Uploads deleted after the search
Photos are processed in memory and deleted as soon as the search completes. Never added to our index, never used for training.
Common questions about the free tier
Is the service really free?
Yes. Face Search AI gives every visitor 3 free reverse face searches per day with no card, no signup, and no auto-trial. You upload a photo, you see ranked matches with source URLs, and you walk away. Paid plans exist for higher daily volume, but the free tier is enough for most casual identity checks.
Is there a catch?
No catch. We do not ask for a card before the search, we do not put a paywall in front of the results, and we do not auto-enroll you in a trial. The free tier is rate-limited to 3 searches per day per visitor to keep abuse and infrastructure cost under control. Beyond that, the page you are reading is the product.
How is the free tier sustainable?
Most visitors run a search or two and leave happy. A small percentage need higher daily volume for ongoing work (investigators, journalists, recruiters) and they pay for it. That revenue covers the free searches everyone else runs. We would rather give honest people a real free tier than fake-trial them into a subscription they will resent.
What images do you search?
Only the public web. Pages anyone can open in a browser without logging in. We do not index private social-media accounts, surveillance feeds, government databases, or anything behind a login wall. Free or paid, the index is the same.
How long does a search take?
Most searches complete in 5 to 12 seconds. Match candidates start arriving inside ~5 seconds; the engine keeps scanning in the background for ~30 seconds after that to maximise recall. The free tier uses the same engine and the same speed as the paid tier.
Is reverse face search legal?
Searching publicly available images is lawful in most jurisdictions, and Face Search AI only indexes the public web. Biometric-privacy laws differ by region and the service is unavailable where it cannot operate compliantly. We geofence rather than cut corners.
