Face Search AI

Face Search AI is a reverse face search service that scans publicly available images across the internet to identify where a given face appears. According to the vendor, it operates through both a web interface and a REST API that share the same underlying engine, allowing developers to integrate face search directly into their applications.

The API follows standard REST conventions with X-API-Key authentication and returns JSON responses. A typical search accepts a multipart file upload or an image URL, and the vendor documents a curl example showing results returned with match counts and remaining credit balances. Each search consumes one credit from the user's account.

Pricing uses a per-credit model with no long-term contracts. The vendor states that three free searches are available daily on every plan — including for users who have not subscribed to any plan. Paid API plans provide monthly credit allocations and are purchased through Stripe checkout. When credits are exhausted, users can upgrade their plan, buy top-up packs, or wait for the next billing cycle reset. Cancellation is available at any time through account settings, with access continuing until the end of the current billing period.

On the privacy front, the vendor claims that searches remain private and that uploaded images are deleted after each search run. Each account is limited to a single active API key, managed through dedicated key endpoints.

The API surface is intentionally minimal, consisting of a core search endpoint, key management operations, and a checkout endpoint for subscription handling. The vendor provides API documentation in multiple languages, including Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and French, alongside the primary English reference.

The tool sits within the broader AI Image Recognition ecosystem, alongside alternatives like Molmo AI for general image analysis and Describe Picture&Image for content description. However, Face Search AI distinguishes itself through its specific focus on reverse face lookup rather than general image understanding or manipulation.

It is important to note that all available information about Face Search AI originates from the vendor's own website and documentation. No independent third-party benchmarks, accuracy evaluations, or index coverage reports are publicly available to verify the vendor's claims about search quality, match precision, or the breadth of the indexed web. Developers evaluating the service for production use should weigh this evidence gap against the low-commitment pricing structure and the availability of a free daily tier for initial testing.
