You matched with someone on a dating app. You have a photo, a first name, and details you cannot verify. How do you know they are who they say they are? face2social takes that photo and finds publicly available profiles carrying the same face. One upload searches Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X, ranked by similarity. Search and preview are free — you pay only to reveal names and profile links. Works with photos people actually have: screenshots, group-shot crops; with beards, glasses and hats.
Hi everyone. I’m David, one of the people building face2social.
The problem we kept running into is very common: you have a photo of someone and nothing to check it against. A dating profile with a first name. A seller with one user picture.
A person who messaged you claiming to be someone. Searching by name is useless since thousands of people share it.
face2social solution: Upload one photo and get user profiles with the matching faces across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X all at once, ranked by
similarity, so you can compare the names, the locations and the age yourself.
We are proud of not just massive coverage, but also acceptable input quality. Most consumer grade face search tools quietly give up on anything that is not a clean straight-up portrait. We tested ours on user pictures downsampled to 140 px and compressed to 14 KB with visible JPEG mush and the search returned the same 80 matches as the 546 KB 720 x 720 px original. Same applies to sunglasses, beards, hats and even mild filters.
Here’s how it works:
- Upload one photo. Run search and get a free preview of the matching profiles
- You get candidates from all four networks, sorted by similarity.
- Pick all results worth revealing. You pay per report, not per social network or number of profiles.
- No match — no charge. The price is shown before you pay.
The limitations:
- A face match is a lead, not proof of identity. Do your own research before concluding anything.
- We search user pictures from 4 major social networks only.
- We don’t search social media posts and other web pages.
- If someone has no social media, we will find nothing. Unless the picture appears on someone else’s profile.
Safety and compliance:
Use of own photos or consent required
Prohibited Jurisdictions: State of Illinois (U.S.A.), the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, Canada, Russia.
There is a Delete my information process in place if you want your own social media profiles out of the index. Subject to jurisdictional regulations.

Who hunted face2social?
face2social was hunted by Abe Petersen. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
