Add one photo
Submit a picture with a single clear face. You don't need a username or a name on any network — the face is the search term, and the photo is encrypted in transit.
Social media search
Social media search to find every profile from one photo.
Social media search starts from a face. Upload one photo and Sherlock finds where that person shows up across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn and more, 9+ sources in all. Matches are scored and source-linked, results stay private, and your photo is deleted after the search.

The Subject
What a social media search does
A social media search built around a face finds a person's accounts across networks at once. You give Sherlock one photo, and instead of checking each platform by hand, it looks for the same face across all 9+ sources it covers in a single pass.
That cross-platform view is the point. People present differently from one network to the next — a professional face on LinkedIn, a casual one on Instagram, a different handle on each. Matching by the face stitches those scattered profiles into one picture of who someone is online, even when the usernames never line up.
Sherlock searches only publicly available information for personal verification. It does not log into or access private accounts, and it builds no public, name-keyed page — every result is private to your account and visible only to you.
The Method
How a social media search works
Three steps from one photo to a cross-platform profile map. A real search runs each time, never simulated.
Search across the networks
Sherlock looks for that face across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, OnlyFans and public records, scoring each profile it finds by visual similarity.
See the profiles together
Matches come back ranked and source-linked, so a person's accounts appear side by side instead of one at a time. The photo is deleted afterward and the case file stays private to you.
Why people search
What a social media search uncovers
One photo, every network — without checking each platform by hand.
Profiles across networks at once
See a person's Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn and more in one search instead of hunting through each app separately.
Connect accounts with different usernames
Because the match is on the face, Sherlock links profiles even when the username changes from one platform to the next.
Check someone's online footprint is consistent
Confirm that a person's profiles across networks tell a consistent story before you trust who they say they are.
The Record
Social Media Search — FAQ
How do I find someone's social media from a photo?
Upload one photo to Sherlock. It searches that face across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, OnlyFans and public records, and returns confidence-scored, source-linked profile matches.
Which social platforms does the search cover?
Coverage spans 9+ sources — Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and OnlyFans — plus public records, with sources added over time.
Can it find accounts with different usernames?
Yes. Because a social media search here matches the face rather than a handle, it can connect a person's accounts even when each one uses a different username.
Does Sherlock access private accounts?
No. Sherlock searches only publicly available information for personal verification. It does not log into or access private accounts, and your results stay private to your account.
