Photo tips & cropping
Use a clear, close-up photo of one face
- Choose a head-and-shoulders portrait, facing the camera.
- Avoid group photos and tiny faces. Crop or take a screenshot around just the person’s face from a larger photo.
- Keep both eyes and facial features visible: no sunglasses, masks, hands or other obstructions.
- Use good lighting and a sharp image. Enlarging a small or blurry face does not restore missing detail.
Better photo quality can help the comparison, but does not guarantee a correct match. Use your own photo or one you have permission to use.
221B does not keep your original photo on its servers.

See the full path from upload to source review.
Upload a photo, review the candidates, then open the original source. The whole workflow in under three minutes.
A match is a lead. The source is the evidence.
Reused photos can appear across profiles, articles, and impersonation accounts. 221B surfaces candidate pages; you open those pages and assess names, dates, and context yourself.
1 photo
is all it takes to start. Results depend on image quality, source availability, and what is public online.

How it works
Three steps from a photo to reviewable evidence.
01
Upload one clear face photo
Use one visible face with decent lighting and minimal obstruction.
02
Scan public-web candidates
221B compares facial similarity across public profiles, articles, and other crawlable pages.
03
Verify the source manually
Open the source page and confirm names, dates, and context before you trust a match.
Check before you trust.

Learn the workflow before you rely on it.
Quick answers before you search.
What does 221B search?
Public profiles, articles, blogs, and other crawlable pages.
Is this the same as Google reverse image search?
No. Google is useful for duplicate images. Face search surfaces public pages with visually similar faces across different photos; you still verify each source.
What kind of photo works best?
One clear, front-facing image with one visible face.
Will every search return a useful candidate?
No. Public-web coverage changes, and a completed search can return no candidate pages. A no-result search is inconclusive; it is not proof that the face is absent online.
How much does it cost?
One search costs $6 USD with the one-time Starter Pack, and there is no subscription. Larger one-time packs bring the price down to about $1.80–$2.40 per search, and monthly plans start at $29 USD for regular work. Each search uses 3 credits.
Does 221B store my original photo?
The original upload is not written to persistent 221B application storage on our servers. A compressed thumbnail may remain in your private search history so you can identify the search. Your upload is not posted or shared publicly by 221B.
Does 221B search private accounts?
No. Private or gated content is outside the scope.
