Reverse face search
Find where a face appears online.
Pick a screenshot from your gallery and search public images in about 30 seconds. You get the number of matches — the results open in your browser.
Search yourself, or with the person's consent.
See it in action.
Built for one job, done properly.
Gallery-first search
Pick any photo or screenshot from your gallery, with a dedicated Screenshots filter. The camera is one tap away when you need it.
Share straight from Instagram
Share a screenshot into Unscanny from any app and land directly on the search screen. No copying, no saving first.
Results in about 30 seconds
Your photo is matched against public images across the web. You see progress while it runs and a match count when it finishes.
Consent on every search
Each search asks you to confirm the photo is of yourself, or that you have the person's written permission, and that you are 18 or older.
Results expire after 7 days
Every search result is removed automatically after a week. The app itself only keeps the match count, never the matched photos.
Text and QR scanning too
Pull phone numbers, e-mail addresses, IBANs, QR codes and full text out of any image, with one tap to call, message or copy.

Questions people ask first.
How does the search work?
You pick a photo, confirm consent, and the image is matched against public images on the web. The app shows you how many matches were found; the results themselves open in your browser.
Do I need the person's permission?
Yes, unless it is a photo of yourself. Every search asks you to confirm that the photo is your own or that you have the person's explicit written consent. You also confirm you are 18 or older.
How long are results kept?
Seven days. After that the result page expires and is permanently removed. The app keeps only the match count and the date.
Does the app store the matched photos?
No. Matches open in your browser and the app never saves them. Only the number of matches is kept on your device.
What makes a good photo to search?
A sharp, front-facing photo where the face is clearly visible. If no clear face is found, the app tells you and no credit is spent on a failed detection.
Which platforms is it on?
