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.
