Photo Analysis
FaceTrace analyzes your photo to extract unique facial features. This creates a mathematical representation (or "facial vector") that can be used to find matches.
The process involves:
- Detecting and isolating the face in your photo
- Identifying key facial landmarks and features
- Converting these features into a unique digital signature
- Optimizing the signature for efficient searching
We never store your actual photo in our search database, only the anonymous mathematical representation.
Processing facial features...
Searching the Web
We compare your facial vector against our extensive index of publicly available images from across the internet.
Our search process:
- Scans billions of images from publicly accessible websites
- Uses advanced algorithms to identify potential matches
- Ranks results by similarity score and relevance
- Excludes images from private social media accounts
Depending on your subscription level, searches can take from a few minutes to several hours to complete.
Review Your Results
Once the search is complete, you'll receive a comprehensive report showing potential matches of your face across the web.
For each match, you'll see:
- The image containing a potential match of your face
- The website where the image appears
- A confidence score indicating match accuracy
- Direct links to the source websites
Premium subscriptions provide additional details and monitoring capabilities to help you better manage your online presence.
