Frequently asked questions
What does a reverse image search do?
It looks for the web pages where your image, or images that look like it, have been published.
Will it tell me who the person in the photo is?
No. We don't use face recognition and we don't identify people. You see where the image appears; the pages themselves may say more.
Which photos can I upload?
JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 4 MB. You need to appear in the photo or have permission to search it.
What happens to my photo?
We use it only for your search and delete it after 30 days.
Why might it find nothing?
If an image has never been published, or only on private pages, there's nothing public to match.
Does it work with screenshots?
Yes, but crop out anything that isn't the image you want to check.
Can I use it to check a person for a job or a rental?
No. LookupVia is not a consumer reporting agency and the results can't be used for those decisions.
