Reverse Face Search

How It Works

1. Input image → face detection → feature extraction
2. Generate unique faceprint (mathematical representation)
3. Match against indexed public images
4. Return ranked results with confidence scores

Tools

• FaceSeek — most comprehensive, includes deepfake detection
• PimEyes — face search only
• Google Lens — basic reverse image

Data Broker Landscape

The data broker industry is valued at $15B+. Major players:

• Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, Intelius
• Each aggregates billions of records
• Most allow opt-out but make it difficult

FaceSeek scans 1,133+ brokers and offers bulk removal.
