how to identify target's identity by a facial upload if reverse search does not work? - johndoeman805 - Aug 17, 2025

Hypothetically lets say a target was unwise enough to upload his/her entire face on social media. However those websites strip exif data. How would one go about identifying that individual based on their face if google/yandex reverse image search does NOT work?

I guess what I am trying to get at here is what other types of reverse image search software would be optimal to use in this hypothetical situation?

Reverse image searches on sites like Google and TinEye are limited they don’t match faces well. You can try dedicated facial recognition search tools like FaceFinderAI, which perform better for this purpose.
