How sherlock compares
to other tools.
Most face-search tools give you a pile of vague results. Sherlock scores every
match, keeps your search private, and deletes your photo after.
Cheaterbuster, PimEyes, and Social Catfish.
Common questions.
Sherlock looks at the face in your photo and compares it to images across social platforms and public records, then ranks the matches by how similar they look. A real search runs every time, and nothing is faked.
We use your photo to run the search and then delete it. We never add it to a public index, attach it to anyone else's profile, or sell it.
No. Your results are private to your account and only you can see them. We don't publish pages about the people you look up.
Sherlock searches publicly available information for personal safety and verification. You're responsible for using the results lawfully. It isn't a consumer reporting tool, so it can't be used for employment, housing, or credit decisions.
We cover the major social networks, including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and OnlyFans, plus public records. We add more sources over time.

Run your first search in seconds. We delete your photo afterward and keep your results private to you.
