How it works

From one photo to a set of leads you can review.

WhoThis is a guided face-search workflow for personal verification. It helps organize potential matches while keeping uncertainty visible.

Step 01

Submit one clear photo

Choose a screenshot, saved image, or camera photo with one clearly visible face. The image is prepared and submitted to the search service for processing.

Step 02

Check supported public sources

The face is compared with images available through supported social platforms and public-record sources. Coverage depends on what is publicly available for that search.

Step 03

Review confidence-ranked candidates

Results are ranked by visual similarity. A score can help prioritize review, but it is not a factual identity determination. Open the surrounding source context and confirm what you can independently.

Boundaries

What we don't do

WhoThis is designed to support careful personal verification without turning a potential match into a claim of fact.

  • We do not access private accounts, private messages, or content behind passwords.
  • We do not publish a public lookup page about the person you search.
  • We do not present similarity scores as proof of identity.
  • We are not a consumer reporting agency, and results cannot be used for employment, housing, credit, insurance, or other regulated eligibility decisions.
