# PeopleFinder

> PeopleFinder is a reverse image and face search tool that identifies a person from a single photo by matching it against social media profiles, public records, and the open web.

## About

PeopleFinder is a reverse image and face search tool. Given one photo of a person, it returns places that face appears online — social media profiles, public records, and indexed web pages — with a confidence score on each match. It also supports text lookup by name and city.

It is used for verifying that someone is who they claim to be: checking a dating match, confirming a marketplace seller, identifying the source of a profile picture, or finding where your own photos have been reposted.

What it is not: it is not an FCRA-regulated background check service, and results must not be used for employment, tenant, credit, or insurance decisions.

## Key Features

### Reverse Image Search
Upload any photo to find where it appears across the internet, returning exact and visually similar matches with a confidence score on each. Unlike Google Images and TinEye — which match an image file and its near-duplicates — PeopleFinder matches the face, so it can find the same person in a different photo.

### Face Recognition Search
Advanced facial recognition technology identifies individuals across social media and public databases. Search for anyone using their photo with high accuracy.

### People Finder
Comprehensive people search engine that finds individuals by photo, name, or email. Discover social media profiles, public records, and online presence.

### Social Media Lookup
Find connected social media accounts across all major platforms including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, TikTok, and more.

### Catfish Detection
Verify if profile photos are genuine or stolen. Detect fake accounts and protect yourself from online scams and romance fraud.

### Background Research
Identity verification, OSINT research, and digital forensics tools for legitimate research purposes.

## Common Use Cases

- Detect catfish and fake social media accounts
- Reconnect with lost friends, family, or classmates
- Conduct background research on individuals (non-FCRA use only)
