Report guide
What a Sherlock Search report helps you see
A useful result needs more than a thumbnail. The report keeps possible matches, confidence, and source context together.
Read confidence
Check photo quality
A clear, front-facing image with one unobstructed face gives the comparison more stable detail to work with.
How it works
From one photo to a source-linked report
Sherlock Search separates photo preparation, payment, and the real comparison so every step is easy to understand.

Start with a question
Three responsible ways to use Sherlock Search
PROFILE CHECK
Look beyond a profile name
A copied photo can appear beside a different name or biography. Compare public appearances before deciding whether an online identity is consistent.
PHOTO REUSE
Investigate possible impersonation
Trace where a face may have been reposted, then inspect dates, captions, usernames, and the earliest accessible source before reporting it.
SELF-AUDIT
Check your own public footprint
Search a photo you own to find possible public copies, forgotten profiles, or pages you may want to review or remove.

Questions, answered
Before you run a Sherlock Search
Know what the service does, where payment occurs, and how to interpret possible matches responsibly.
01What does Sherlock Search do?
It submits one face photo to a reverse-image search provider and returns possible visual matches connected to public web pages. The results are leads for review, not proof of legal identity.
02Do I need to create an account?
No. Choose a photo, complete the one-time Stripe checkout, and return to a private guest wallet. Stripe collects an email for your receipt and recovery link.
03When does the real search begin?
The first photo starts a short readiness sequence. The full provider comparison begins only after payment is verified and you confirm the final photo you want searched.
04What happens if I already have credits?
This browser remembers your private purchase reference and asks the server to verify the remaining balance. If credits remain, you can use them without buying again.
05What if no useful matches appear?
A completed zero-match search means the comparison ran but did not return useful candidates. It does not prove the face is absent online because some pages may be private, unindexed, removed, or visually different.
06How long is search media retained?
Search media is retained for up to 24 hours. Keep the emailed recovery link until you have finished reviewing your private report.
07Can a similarity score confirm identity?
No. Always open the source and compare names, dates, captions, locations, and independent evidence before reaching a conclusion.
Start with one clear photo
Review your image first, unlock the comparison with a one-time payment, and keep every possible match private to your report.
