Search procedure<br>How Sherlock Search works: one photo, one payment, one report.<br>The payment boundary is explicit. Your image stays in this browser until the server verifies the Stripe payment.
01Prepare one clear photo<br>Choose, drop, or paste a JPG, PNG, or WebP. The image stays in your browser while you review it and open checkout.
02Pay once through Stripe<br>Stripe collects $2.99 USD and your recovery email. There is no account, subscription, credit pack, or recurring charge.
03Review the source trail<br>After payment is verified, the search begins. Possible matches are returned with similarity context and links to the public pages behind them.

Example domains and scores are shown only to explain the report layout. Actual results depend on the submitted image and available public-source index.
Possible matches in order<br>Returned leads are arranged by visual similarity so you can review the strongest candidates first.
Meaning, not certainty<br>Similarity helps prioritize review. It does not certify a name, ownership, or legal identity.
Public source links<br>Open the page behind a result and examine its account, date, caption, and surrounding facts.
Review protocol<br>How to review a Sherlock Search result<br>A convincing thumbnail can still belong to an unrelated or copied page. Treat the face, source page, and timeline as separate pieces of evidence.<br>Before you act<br>Record both similarities and contradictions. Never use a face search alone for employment, housing, credit, insurance, law enforcement, or another decision that materially affects a person.
01Compare stable facial details<br>Look at eye spacing, brows, nose shape, jawline, ears, and distinctive marks. Hair, clothing, filters, and scenery can change easily.
02Open the original page<br>Read the account name, caption, date, domain, and surrounding page. A thumbnail without its source context is only a partial lead.
03Look for corroboration<br>Check whether more than one independent source supports the same conclusion. Record contradictions as carefully as similarities.
Responsible use<br>When to use Sherlock Search responsibly<br>The service helps locate pages to inspect. It is not a background check, identity registry, or decision-making system.
01IDENTITY CHECK<br>Examine an unfamiliar online identity
Compare a profile photo with other public appearances before relying on a name, biography, or claimed location. The result can reveal pages worth checking, but it cannot tell you who controls an account.
02IMPERSONATION<br>Trace possible photo reuse
Investigate whether a face appears alongside different names or stories. Review the oldest accessible sources and the context around each use before reporting possible impersonation.
03SELF-AUDIT<br>Review your own public footprint
Search a photo you own to find possible reposts or unexpected public exposure. Source links provide a practical starting point if you decide to contact a website or platform.
Privacy boundary<br>The payment happens before the search<br>Selecting and previewing a photo is local to your browser. The image is sent for the paid search only after the server verifies the Stripe payment.
