Reverse image search, built for faces.
General image search finds objects and backgrounds. Sherlock focuses on the face, matching a person across social platforms and the public web and scoring how sure it is about each hit.
How the search works.
- 01Upload
Drop in an image
Any clear photo with one face, a screenshot or a saved picture is fine.
- 02We search
We match the person
Instead of matching pixels, we match the face against openly published images.
- 03You review

Good to know.
How is this different from a normal reverse image search?
Typical tools match the whole image, objects, scenes, colors. Sherlock is tuned to recognize the person’s face, so it finds the same individual even in different photos.
What image quality do I need?
A clear, front-facing face gives the best results. Screenshots work as long as the face is visible.
Is the upload stored?
No. Your image is used for that one search only and then deleted. Results stay private to you.
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.
