Want to find someone's social media profiles but only have their photo? AI-powered reverse face search can scan the public web and find their Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, and other social accounts — even if their profiles don't share the same name.
Step-by-Step Guide
Get their photo ready
Save or screenshot their profile picture, a group photo, or any image where their face is clearly visible.
Upload to Sherly
Open Sherly and upload the photo. The AI detects the face automatically — no manual cropping needed.
Search across the public web
Sherly searches millions of public pages including social media platforms, blogs, news sites, and public databases.
Find matching social profiles
Results often include links to Instagram posts, Facebook profiles, LinkedIn pages, Twitter accounts, and other social platforms where the face appears.
Cross-reference and verify
Check multiple results to confirm the identity. Look for consistent details — same name, location, employer, or mutual connections.
