Find a Facebook profile from a photo.
Upload a photo and Sherlock looks for that same person across public Facebook-style content and the wider web, ranking each profile it finds by how closely the face matches.
How the search works.

What people use it for.

You have the picture but not the person, start the search from the face.
Verify a new friend request
Check whether a request is from a real person before you accept.
Screen before an in-person meet
Confirm identity ahead of a rental, sale, or first meeting.
Find an impersonator
Spot accounts using someone else’s photos to pose as them.
Good to know.
Do I need their name first?
No. You start with a photo, and Sherlock works to find the matching profile and details.
Does it read private profiles?
No. Sherlock only searches openly available, public content, never private or restricted posts.
Who can see my search?
Only you. Results are tied to your account, and your uploaded photo is never retained.
One photo shows you exactly who is behind it.
Your first search takes only seconds. We delete the photo the moment it's done and keep every result private to you.
