Face search engine
FaceCheck.ID
FaceCheck.ID is a face search engine that compares an uploaded face with faces on publicly accessible pages and returns the pages, with a similarity score for each match and a red-flag label where a page is a scam report, a mugshot listing or similar. It sells searches as credit packs rather than subscriptions and describes itself as a tool for checking whether a stranger is who they claim to be.

What does FaceCheck.ID do?
FaceCheck.ID takes a photo, finds the face and compares it with faces found on public web pages. Each result carries a similarity score and the page it came from. The site frames the service around one question, who is that, and describes typical uses as checking a dating match, a business contact or a stranger. Its own FAQ states that it does not provide a positive identity match: a high score means the faces look alike, not that they belong to the same person (see similarity score).
What does it index?
The FAQ says the engine indexes only publicly available photos and does not scrape social media against platform terms. A red-flag label appears when a match comes from a scam-reporting site, a news article, an offender registry, a mugshot or most-wanted listing, or an adult or escort site. The company says it stores low-resolution thumbnails and source URLs rather than full images, keeps no biometric templates, deletes uploaded photos rather than adding them to the index, and removes search history within 24 hours.
How are the scores read?
| Score | Label on the site | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 90 to 100 | Certain match | Very similar faces; still not proof of identity |
| 83 to 89 | Confident match | Likely the same person, verify with context |
| 70 to 82 | Uncertain match | Could be a look-alike |
| 50 to 69 | Weak match | Probably a different person |
What does it cost?
Searches are sold as one-time credit packs, three credits per search, with no subscription. Reviewers and listings quote a 36-credit pack at about $6, a 150-credit pack at $19 valid for 14 days, and larger packs up to 10,000 credits. Several sources report that the checkout accepts cryptocurrency and that card processing was dropped in late 2024. On November 6, 2026 the vendor's own checkout page returned a service message, so the current pack list could not be confirmed there.
| Pack | Credits | Searches at 3 credits | Price (reported) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Just Peek | 36 | 12 | about $6 |
| Rookie Sleuth | 150 | 50 | $19, 14-day validity reported |
| The Professional | 10,000 | 3,333 | about $597 |
How does removal work?
- Step 1
Find your face
Run a search with your own photo and open Remove My Photos.
- Step 2
Select the photos
Tick the results that show you.
- Step 3
Verify
Selfie capture, automated and usually instant, or an anonymised ID document reviewed within 1 to 5 business days.
- Step 4
Hidden, then deleted
Matches are hidden from new searches at once; after approval the photos and the document are deleted.
Removal is free. The site says it may refuse removal for people convicted of certain violent or sexual offences, and that a DMCA request is the alternative route for copyright owners (see DMCA takedown). Every engine has its own process; the opt-out routes directory lists them.
What are the stated limits?
- Not for decisions about credit, employment, insurance or tenant screening; the site says it is not a consumer reporting agency.
- Not for confirming identity for legal purposes.
- Searching for children is a terms violation leading to a ban; the model is described as trained on adult faces only.
- Use in jurisdictions that prohibit facial recognition must stop; see the laws index.
How does it compare with other engines?
FaceCheck.ID publishes its own 16-scenario comparison against PimEyes, Social Catfish, Yandex Images, TinEye, Google and Bing, written by a contractor in May 2024 and labelled by the company as not an independent review. The engines index lists the same fields for every service without ranking them.
Questions

No. The site states there is no official iOS or Android app and that apps using the name are unauthorised. A Chrome extension exists.
Does FaceCheck.ID identify people?
