Identity Protection for the Modern Era
Our system privately scans the internet for people posting your face, whether it's been stolen, reposted, AI-edited, leaked from group chats, or posted without your knowledge. When we find it, we notify you and give you the option to take it down.
Feedback from early testers
Someone posted my face as an own during an argument. Watching that post vanish was deeply satisfying.
Used it to scrub old photos of me on accounts i didn't control before a big job interview.
Someone ran my face through an AI edit and posted it as a lame mean joke.
I sleep better knowing this is quietly running in the background.
It satisfies my curiosity about where my face might be showing up across the internet.
Your face, your rights
A photo online can travel farther than you expect. It can be saved, AI-edited, reposted without your knowledge on high-risk sites, leaked from group chats, or used on fake profiles. Protect My Face helps you find out where it appears, so you can decide what to do next.
Our system privately scans the internet 24/7 for anyone posting your face.
When we find a match, we immediately notify you by email.
You can take it down, or simply see where your face appears.
Takes less than a minute.
Privacy-first protection
It's simple.
You upload your face once, and our system privately scans the internet 24/7 for people posting your face without your knowledge.
When we find a result, we email you and show you where your face is appearing so you can decide what to do next.
If you want it removed, we help you use legal pathways like the DMCA. In many cases, if it is a selfie or any photo you took yourself, you automatically own the copyright and may have the right to get it taken down even if someone else posted it.
You can also use Protect My Face just to keep tabs on where your face is showing up online. Not every result has to be taken down. Sometimes you just want to know.
If someone is bullying you with your photo or there is a post you want gone fast, you can send it to us anytime through our manual reporting option instead of waiting for the automatic scanner to find it.
Recent monitored surfaces, new detections, takedown status, and evidence links are organized so you can review what happened without hunting through alerts.
Our system privately analyzes your face: the distance between your eyes, jaw shape, nose bridge, cheekbone structure. It takes all of that and outputs a face vector, which is just a list of numbers. That vector is your unique digital fingerprint.
It is not like a normal photo. The numbers are only used to help recognize when another face produces a similar number.
Our private system scans the web around the clock comparing your private vector against images we find online. No raw images are compared, just math. When we detect a match, we verify it and notify you.
Copyright basics
The DMCA is the U.S. copyright takedown system platforms use when someone posts your original work without permission. In Protect My Face, it helps when a photo you took of yourself is reposted, copied, used to bully you, posted without your knowledge, or you simply don't like the photo.
If you took the photo, you automatically own the copyright the moment you created it. We help you find those posts and present you the option to take them down or leave them up. You have the power.

Use cases
Deepfakes, face-swaps, AI-generated images using your face. If it was made without your permission, it is a violation. We find it, let you know, and give you the option to take it down.
Your face gets screenshotted, reposted, mocked. It spreads to group chats, pages, accounts you never even see. We find where it is, notify you, and give you the option to take it down.
You didn't consent. You weren't tagged. You had no idea it was out there. We continuously monitor high-risk sites for your likeness so you don't have to rely on someone else telling you.
Intimate images shared without your permission can spread fast. We try to find it by monitoring high-risk sites, let you know, and give you the option to take it down.
Your face is on a dating profile or social account that isn't yours. Someone is pretending to be you to manipulate other people. You can report it to us so we can help you take it down.
Your name, your bio, your photos, but it's not you. Fake accounts copying your identity can damage your reputation. You can report it to us so we can help you take it down.
A photo of you gets taken out of context and starts spreading. You didn't post it, you didn't approve it, and now it's everywhere. We track where it's being shared so you can act on it.
Maybe nothing happened. Maybe you're just curious. Either way, you deserve to know where your face appears on the internet. Upload once and we'll keep watching. You'll be the first to know.
Everything you need to know about how we protect your face online.
Finding matches is not like a normal web search. We process your face signature, then scan and compare against content as it is discovered across the internet. If nothing appears right away, it usually means scanning is still in progress or no qualifying matches have been found yet.
No. Protect My Face is built exclusively to help you protect your own face. Uploading someone else's face violates our terms of service and abuse prevention is part of the product flow.
Yes. Some people use Protect My Face simply to know where their face appears online. If we find a qualified match on high-risk sites, we notify you so you can decide whether to leave it alone or get help taking it down.
We help you find unauthorized uses of your face and likeness on high-risk sites, including stolen photos, reposts, AI-edited images, uploads you did not consent to, and content posted without your knowledge. You upload reference photos; we build a private face signature, scan for matches, and give you the option to take it down. Some people use that option; others use it out of curiosity to see what appears online.
A face vector is a compact set of numbers that summarizes facial geometry and features from the photos you provide. We use it to compare against faces in images and video we find online.
One clear face photo is enough to get started. You can add up to three for stronger matching accuracy. Use well-lit, front-facing photos where your face is visible.
After you complete signup, we use your face signature to search high-risk sites 24/7 for potential matches according to our service. You will be notified when we find something that needs your attention, along with the option to take it down.
Yes. For valid matches, we help you document unauthorized use and pursue removal, including through the TAKE IT DOWN Act, DMCA takedowns, and other applicable notice-and-takedown processes.
