Do their photos appear somewhere else online?

We check whether these exact photos have been published anywhere on the public web, and under what name. We don’t recognise faces, and we delete the photo as soon as we’ve checked it.

1 to 5 photos. JPEG, PNG or WebP. Screenshot the enlarged photo, not the grid.

The headline result is free. Photos are deleted as soon as they’ve been checked.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Upload their photos

    Save or screenshot 1 to 5 photos from the profile. The enlarged photo works best; the grid doesn't.

  2. Step 2

    We search the public web

    Each photo is run through reverse image search. We look for the same picture on stock sites, scam-reporting sites, social profiles and news.

  3. Step 3

    Read the result

    A plain headline for free. Unlock the full report to see every page the photos appear on and the names attached to them.

What we can tell you

  • Whether the photo is a stock image, and where it’s sold.
  • Whether it has been posted on a scam-reporting site.
  • Which social profiles, news articles or other pages it appears on.
  • Whether the name on those pages matches the name on the profile.
  • Whether the photos trace back to more than one person.

What we can’t tell you

  • Who the person in the photo is. We don’t recognise faces.
  • Whether a photo that was never published is genuine.
  • Anything about private accounts or messages.
  • Whether someone is honest. Only a conversation, and a video call, can do that.

Privacy, briefly

  • Deleted within the hourPhotos are removed as soon as the check completes. A storage rule deletes anything left behind.
  • No face recognitionWe compare images with images. No face embeddings, no face-search services, ever.
  • No database of peopleReports hold public URLs and an image fingerprint, nothing else, and expire after 30 days.

Questions

What exactly do you check?
Whether these exact photos, or cropped and resized copies of them, have been published on the public web, and what name appears on the pages where they turn up. That's it.
Is this face recognition?
No, and we won't add it. We match images, not faces. We don't keep a database of people, and we can't tell you who someone is.
What happens to the photos I upload?
They're resized, stripped of metadata, checked, and deleted. Within the hour at most, usually within seconds. We keep only a perceptual hash of the image and the public URLs we found.
Can a low-risk result be wrong?
Yes. A photo that has never been published anywhere won't be found, and new scam profiles often use fresh or AI-generated photos. Low risk means we found nothing, not that the person is real.
Can a high-risk result be wrong?
Also yes. Someone can genuinely have their own photos on their own Instagram and LinkedIn. Read the evidence, look at the names, and ask for a video call.
How much does it cost?
