Results: your questions answered

Each match shows the image that was found, the public page it came from (the source link and its domain), the page title where there is one, and its place in the ranking. The header counts the matches and the number of sites they span. On a paid plan the source link opens the page in a new tab; on the Free plan and as a guest it is locked.

Matches are ranked by how similar the face on the page is to the face you uploaded. The top of the list is the most likely to be the same person, so start there. There is no cut-off that promises everything above a line is you and everything below is not; similarity falls gradually, and a weak match near the bottom is usually a look-alike.

Because faces repeat. Two unrelated people can share the shape, spacing and proportions a computer measures, especially in low-quality or angled photos, and the index is large enough that coincidences happen. Treat a match as a lead and confirm it with clues that are not the face: the name, date, place or context on the source page.

The Free plan and guest searches show the matched images and their ranking, so you can see whether your face appears somewhere, but not the page each match came from. Any paid plan unlocks every link, starting with Starter at $5 a week. Locked results from an earlier scan unlock when the plan is active; you do not need to search again.

A result records where the image was when the page was last crawled. Pages get edited, deleted, moved or put behind a login, and the link then fails or shows something else. The match is still evidence that the photo was there. Try the site's search or a cached copy, and if you need the photo removed, note the domain for your request.

If you are signed in, every scan is saved in History with its matches until you delete it, including scans that finished after you left the page. Guest scans are not saved: when the session ends they are gone, which is one reason to create a free account before you search something you might want to revisit.

Open History, hover or tap the scan and choose delete, or open the scan and use the delete button; the search photo and its matches are removed. You can also clear your whole history in one go. Deletion is permanent and does not use a credit. Individual matches cannot be removed from a scan, only the scan as a whole.

There are no public result pages and no share links. Results are visible only in the account or browser session that ran the search. If you need to pass a finding on, for example to a platform's report form or to the police, take a screenshot of the match and copy the source URL yourself.

The index changes as pages are added, updated and removed, so a scan run weeks apart can differ. A deep search also covers more sources than a normal one, so the two modes give different lists for the same photo. For a job like a takedown, keep the scan that found the page rather than relying on a later one to find it again.

Open the source page and look for things a face search cannot know: a name, a location, a date, the account that posted it, other photos on the same page. A match confirmed by two or three of those is solid; a match with a different name, age or country is probably a look-alike. Never act on a face match alone, and never contact the person in the photo about it.
