Search4faces Review

Search4faces matches the face in an uploaded photo against databases of profile pictures it collected from social networks, rather than crawling the open web. Each database is searched separately, and the site publishes its size, collection period and the share of searches that found a match:

Results link to the matching profile on vk.com, ok.ru, TikTok or Clubhouse. Because most of the data is several years old, recent profile changes will not show up. Search4faces' FAQ says the service is meant primarily for personal use, to find where your own image was posted without consent, and that it does not recommend searching for other people. Its terms require users to be 18 or older and say the company is registered in Kyrgyzstan.

Search4faces publishes no price for searching on its website. The paid product it lists is the API, sold in 30-day packages:

Each package is valid for 30 days. Payment is arranged by email; no card checkout is shown. Search4faces says it will give developers free trial access to the API on request. The Russian-language API page lists different packages priced in rubles.

Prices checked on the vendor's pricing page on November 12, 2026. See Search4faces API pricing.

What Search4faces lists on its homepage, FAQ and API pages:

Search4faces is narrow by design. It is useful if you have, or had, a VK, Odnoklassniki, TikTok or Clubhouse account and want to check whether your photos are being reused on another profile on those networks, which the major Western face search engines largely do not cover. The FAQ asks for a front-facing JPG or PNG under 4.5 MB with a face of at least 128 x 128 pixels.

For the open web, it is the wrong tool. PimEyes and Lenso.ai index public websites and offer alerts and opt-outs, and FaceCheck.ID is aimed at checking profiles for scams. Yandex Images is a free general reverse image search with strong Russian-language coverage.

To be removed, Search4faces' FAQ points to its removal form or the contact email; to remove one specific image, email the link to the image and a short reason, which it says is free. Because the API returns profile details such as name, age and city with each match, anyone with Russian-network accounts may want to request removal.

Independent coverage is limited and mostly comes from the OSINT community. ClarityVerify (October 2026) concludes it is worth using only when the person's photos are on VK, Odnoklassniki or TikTok. OsintLibrary lists it for investigations involving post-Soviet networks where open-web engines have little coverage. A 2024 Medium walkthrough flags its Russian origin as a concern before uploading anything. Russian-language review sites such as search-photo.ru describe it as free with no limits.
