Online face recognition
To make a reverse image search with faces online, you have to visit a website that offers this feature. The downside of facial recognition is that most reverse image search sites don’t offer it at all. However, there are a few websites offering face search that you can use for free.

How to find people online
- Upload your image following the instructions on lenso.ai. Paste the image using Ctrl+V or upload it from your phone or computer. You will be redirected to the search.
- Choose the "People" category from the top bar.
- Click on the image you are interested in. On the left-hand side, a new panel will open.
- From the panel on the side, you can choose actions you want to take:
- Web icon - Open the source page
- Image icon - Open the image in a new tab
- Bookmark icon - Save to collections on your profile
- If there are multiple sources, you can click Show X sources. This will show all the sources of the image

Lenso.ai did not find my face
If lenso.ai didn't find your face, it's possible face search is not available in your location. If the People category does not show up at all, it means face search is locked in your region.
If you see the People category, but it did not find results, try the Research Mode. Research mode makes a longer search to find more results.
Try lenso.ai!

Integrating lenso.ai API into Custom Software Solutions for Image Processing
I see a lot of teams chasing image AI without a realistic implementation plan. My view is simple: if I want to add reverse image search, visual matching, duplicate detection, or face-based lookup into a product without building a full computer vision stack from scratch, integrating lenso.ai API into custom software can be a practical shortcut. It gives developers a way to embed image search capabilities into real products while keeping the focus on business logic, workflow design, and user experience.
