Reverse image search · in your browser
One photo.
every match.
Find where a photo appears across the public web — starting from a single image. Every search scans and analyzes billions of publicly shared images, and lists each match with its source and link.
One credit runs one full search, from $3.99 — see pricing. Your photo is uploaded only for the duration of that search, then deleted. No profile built, no data sold.
Illustrative results. Every match links to the public page it was found on; your photo is deleted once the search returns.
How it works
Billions of images,
one search.
Sherlock Ai looks for public web pages where an image visually similar to your photo appears, and lists them with their source and link. To do this, the photo you pick is uploaded to FaceCheck.ID, our third-party image matching provider, at the moment of the search and deleted right afterwards. Matching is based on visual similarity — including facial similarity when the photo contains a person, which is why the Privacy Policy treats your upload as biometric data. Your results and history stay on your device. We don't build identity profiles or sell your data.
Frame the image
Choose a photo from your library or take one, then zoom and drag until your subject fills the circle. Best results come from a clear, sharp, front-on photo of a single subject, without glasses, hats or heavy filters.
We scan billions of images
Every search scans and analyzes billions of publicly shared images. It usually takes under a minute, and the photo is deleted the moment the search finishes, fails or times out.
Every match, every source
Each match arrives with a similarity score and the page it came from — a social profile, a news article, any public page — so you can open the source and judge it yourself.
What this is for
Use it responsibly — and within the law
Sherlock Ai is built for three things:
- Checking where your own photos appear across the public web.
- Verifying that a person you are dealing with is who they claim to be.
- Tracing the source of an image you were sent.
It is not built for tracking, stalking, harassing or surveilling anyone; for unmasking people who have a reasonable expectation of anonymity, including activists, journalists, survivors of abuse and sex workers; or for searching photos of minors. Using it that way breaks our Terms of Use and costs you your account.
Some regions place additional legal limits on processing facial images, and you are responsible for the searches you run. A match is a similarity score, never proof of identity. If a search has been run on you, or a result needs to come down, tell us through the report and removal channel — a person reads every report.
Reading the results
A score,
not a verdict.
Every match carries a similarity score, and the app groups them exactly as below. Similar-looking people exist: these results are not identity confirmation — always verify the source yourself. Weak matches stay hidden until you ask for them.
Pricing
One credit,
one full search.
Every search scans and analyzes billions of images shared across the web. Running that infrastructure — the index, the matching models and the servers behind every scan — is what our pricing covers. A credit is spent per search, whether or not a match comes back, because the full scan runs either way.
Take a plan for a recurring allocation of credits, or buy a one-time pack. Prices are the same in the iPhone app and in the browser.

Or continue with credits
What you get, and when. Credits are delivered to your balance immediately after payment is confirmed — there is nothing to ship and nothing to wait for. One credit runs one full search. A search that fails, times out or that you cancel does not consume a credit; a search that completes with zero matches does, because the scan ran. Results are not guaranteed: “not found” is an answer too.
Prices and tax. All prices are in US dollars and exclude sales tax or VAT, which is calculated and shown at checkout based on your country. The checkout displays the final amount in your local currency before you pay.
Who you are paying. Purchases made in the browser at app.facesearchai.app are sold by Paddle.com Market Ltd, our reseller and Merchant of Record. Paddle handles payment, tax and receipts. The charge reaches your card statement as FACESEARCH, usually behind a Paddle prefix — for example “PADDLE.NET* FACESEARCH”. Purchases made inside the iPhone app are processed by Apple.
Renewals and cancellation. Plans renew automatically at the price above unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. On the web, cancel anytime from Account → Manage subscription, which opens your Paddle billing portal; in the iPhone app, cancel in your Apple ID settings. Unspent credits are refundable within 14 days — see the Refund Policy, Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Privacy by design
Nothing kept
that isn't needed.
Sign in only where it's needed
The iPhone app has no sign-up, no email and no password — it works from a random identifier generated on your device. In the browser you sign in with Google, so your credits follow your account instead of the browser you happen to be using. Either way we never ask for your name or build a profile.
Photos are deleted
Your photo exists only for the duration of one search. It is deleted from the search provider right after the results come back, and we never store it.
History stays local
Past searches and their results live only on your device. Delete them individually, or wipe everything from Account.
