How FaceSift works
- Live search costs $1. You pay once per search in cryptocurrency through NOWPayments. There is no subscription.
- Live searches run on the FaceCheck.ID API. FaceSift sends your photo to FaceCheck.ID and shows the results it returns.
- Demo mode is free and is not a real search.It shows a set of sample results so you can see how the results page looks. Your photo isn't searched.
- Results are possible matches, not proof of identity.Each result has a similarity score. A high score means the faces look alike. It doesn't confirm that the person in a result is the person in your photo, so check the source page before you draw any conclusion.
- FaceSift keeps no face index of its own.Every Live result comes from FaceCheck.ID. FaceSift doesn't store uploaded photos or search results on its servers.
- Lenso.ai is a separate alternative. The /lenso page embeds Lenso.ai's own search widget. Searches there go straight to Lenso.ai, not through FaceSift.
