Is this investor, founder, recruiter, or potential business partner who they claim to be? Searching their name might return thousands of results. Searching their face can give you the edge. Upload a photo and face2social searches for matching faces across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X. Compare names, check public profile information, spot inconsistencies, and make better-informed decisions about who you're connecting with. Free preview. No match, no charge.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm David, founder of face2social. I've spent the last four years working in computer vision, and today we're launching something we've been building around a simple question: What if you could find someone's social media accounts using just their face?
Imagine - a guy named Dario reaches out to you on Facebook with an incredible offer to invest in his IPO at a discount and you want to know who he is.
But how do you know the person behind that profile is who they claim to be?
Searching their name might return thousands of results. Searching their face can tell a different story.
That's what face2social is for.
Upload a photo, and we'll search for matching faces across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X.
You can explore matching profiles, compare names and profile information, and look for inconsistencies worth investigating further.
Same face, different names → someone is possibly using a borrowed face
Same name, but the story doesn't add up → investigate further, ask questions
Only one profile, created recently → ask for a live video call before anything else
One name and a consistent history everywhere → good sign
Here's how it works:
Upload a profile picture, screenshot, or any photo containing a face
Get a free search preview before paying
Unlock a report to explore matching social media profiles
No matches? No charge
Plans start at $19.99/month for 10 reports. We also offer API: https://dashboard.face2social.com/docs/
A few important things to know:
Face matching isn't identity verification. A match is a starting point for a potential further investigation, not a proof that two accounts belong to the same real life person.
We currently search profile pictures only with global coverage for Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X except for Facebook, where reach is limited primarily to the U.S.,
Use your own photos (for a test) or obtain the person's consent. Please read our U.S. Responsible use guide to help you navigate consent requirements: https://face2social.com/responsibleuseguide/
The service is not available in the state of Illinois, the EU/EEA, the UK, Canada, or Russia.
face2social is not a consumer reporting agency and must not be used for employment, credit, housing, or other eligibility decisions regulated by the FCRA.
Why we're launching on Product Hunt
We built face2social to help fellow founders, investors, and business partners better understand who they're connecting with online.
We realize that face search raises important questions about privacy, accuracy, and responsible use. And we want to have those conversations openly right here at PH.
What would you find a tool like this genuinely useful for? And what concerns would you want us to address?
Happy to answer any questions — including the uncomfortable ones.
@david_anderson41 It really lives up to expectations for the particular use case - to identify the person. This seems to be one of the product's most valuable features, if a good match is found you can see the name and profile link right away, without the need to dig deeper such as when Pimeyes finds a web page with a picture or when you find a group photo and have to still figure out who the exact person is.
@angelaaa Exactly! That's one of our key advantages. Unlike general-purpose face search engines, Face2Social is built specifically for social media discovery. We focus on finding matching faces across social platforms and connecting them directly to public profiles, with names and links — not just pages containing similar photos.
Of course, matches still need to be verified, but we make that process much faster and easier.
Hey@david_anderson41 I was particularly impressed that it finds people in sunglasses hats and at weird angles. Whatever the method of searching they use seems to be very effective. I previously used competitors like PimEyes, TinEye and Lenso.ai and can tell the difference.
@priya_kushwaha1 Thanks, Priya! We often manage to find matches even from very low-quality, blurry, or heavily compressed images. It's something we've put a lot of effort into, so it's great to hear you noticed the difference!
@david_anderson41 How accurate is the face matching when someone diffrent photos across social media?
Interesting angle to look at online scams prevention. Quick search can save you a lot of time, stress and of course money. The only problem is the consent requirements but I guess if a person has nothing to hide, they should be fine with a quick face search.
@monir_ Thanks, Monir! That's exactly what we're aiming for — helping people spot potential scams before they lose time or money.
And yes, consent is an important part of responsible face search. We believe online safety and privacy should go hand in hand, which is why we've made consent a requirement in our Terms of Service.
It works.. the option to see a preview before making a payment helps with trust
@charan_t_m Thanks, Charan! That's exactly why we built it this way. We want people to see potential matches before deciding whether it's worth paying. No match, no charge!
Glad you've spelled out that a face match isn't identity verification. That distinction needs to stay clear when someone is looking at the results.
@oleksii_sekundant Absolutely, Oleksii! A face match is a starting point, not proof of identity. We help people discover potential connections across social profiles, but the final judgment should always be based on additional context and verification. Thanks for highlighting this!
