Tips for Best Search Results
Follow these guidelines to get the most accurate matches from our face search engines
The quality of your search results depends heavily on the quality of the photo you upload. Following these tips will significantly improve your chances of finding a match.
Proper Image Cropping
Leave adequate space around the face when cropping. Our engine needs some surrounding area to properly align and analyze facial features. Cropping too tightly can reduce accuracy.
Image Quality Matters
Use clear, well-lit photos where the face is clearly visible. Blurry or dark images significantly reduce the accuracy of our search engine and may lead to false matches or no matches at all.
Face Angle
While our engine can process side profiles, front-facing photos provide the most accurate results. Side profiles may lead to false positives or missed matches, so whenever possible, use a straight-on photo of the face.
Additional Tips for Best Results:
- Use recent photos when possible - older pictures may not match current appearances
- Avoid photos with heavy filters or editing - natural photos work best
- Make sure the face isn't obscured by sunglasses, masks, or other objects
- If searching group photos, crop to include only the person you're looking for
- Group photos can work, but make sure the face is clearly visible and well-lit
- Higher resolution images typically yield better results
