How It Works
Three steps to find out if a profile photo can be trusted.
Paste the web address of their profile picture, or upload a photo from your device. Nothing is saved — the image is only used for this one search.
We run a reverse image search — instead of searching with words, we search with the picture itself. Our tool checks Google's image index to find every other place that exact photo (or a close copy) appears online.
We summarise what we found into one of three simple results, plus the list of websites where the photo turned up so you can look for yourself.
What the verdicts mean
Likely Real
The photo barely appears online, or only on pages that match the person's stated identity. That's normal for a genuine private individual.
Suspicious
The photo shows up in a few unrelated places, or we couldn't find enough to be sure. Worth a closer look and a few careful questions.
Likely Fake
The photo is widely circulated — stock photos, modelling sites, or many profiles under different names. This is a classic sign of a stolen photo.
Other red flags to watch for
- 💸 They ask for money, gift cards, or crypto — for any reason.
- 📹 They always have an excuse to avoid a live video call.
- 💬 They profess strong feelings extremely fast.
- ✈️ Their story involves working abroad, the military, or an oil rig.
- 📈 They want to "teach" you about crypto or a can't-miss investment.
- ⏰ Everything is urgent — an emergency, a deadline, a crisis.
Spotting two or more of these alongside a suspicious photo result is a strong warning sign. Learn more on the About page.
