AI Face Search Tools: what should you know?
Basically, face search is one of the easiest options for finding your face online. Thanks to facial recognition engines and search by image technology, you can upload a photo to a verified tool, check for matches, and find exactly where your image has appeared online.
The most important thing is to use only verified tools. Many of them claim to offer face search, but in reality they only show visually similar images (often pulled from Google or other free search engines).

How can face search help you?
There are plenty of reasons why you should use a face search tool, including:
- find misused photos online and request a takedown
- check where your images appear online (exact URL placement)
- verify potential catfishing or fraud
- find fake profiles
- detect copyright misuse
- run an investigation and find more information about specific person
How to use a face search tool effectively?
Even if you decide to use the best face search tool (which we’ll mention later), it’s still worth following a few basic rules. They will help you find more accurate image matches and also confirm whether the tool you chose is truly reliable:
- Upload a clear image of your face.
- It should also be a high resolution image.
- Try to upload an image only of yourself, not a group photo (although group photos may work well if you’re searching for duplicates of that exact image).
- Try different images, as this often brings different results.
- Image results should appear quickly. If you see a paywall before any results are shown, you should strongly reconsider using that service.
- Access to the original image source may be paid, at least then you can clearly see what you’re paying for.

- filter your search by specific domains (if you’re familiar with any)
- sort images by newest/oldest or by best/worst match
Eyematch.ai - a new facial recognition tool
Eyematch.ai is a brand-new face search tool focused exclusively on people search. Just upload an image and start image search.

You can also upload a group photo and select the specific face you want to search for. It’s another useful solution for discovering where your photos appear online.
Pimeyes - a well-known face search engine
It’s not really necessary to describe PimEyes, as it is a well-known face search tool focused exclusively on facial recognition (unlike lenso.ai, which is broader and also searches for Duplicates, Places, Related, and Similar images).

Nevertheless, it is also a reliable face search tool. You may get fewer face match results, but they are usually very accurate. PimEyes also offers sorting options and alerts (although those are available only with a subscription plan).
Advice:
If you want to find as much information as possible, it’s best to use all of these tools or at least two of them and compare the results. This way, you’ll have a higher chance of finding the maximum amount of available information.
