Who is this personin the video?
You have a clip, a screen recording or a screenshot of someone and no name. We search the frames across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook and the open web and return the pages that carry the same footage — usually the account that posted it, with the name on it. Free to scan, $0.90 to open the links.
- Upload the file from your phone: a screen recording or a screenshot is enough.
- Not face recognition. We find where that exact footage is published and who published it.
- Each page is marked confirmed when its thumbnail matches your frames one by one.
A link checks the first ~5 seconds. To check the whole video, upload the file.

The footage leads to the account. The face alone does not.
Save what you have
A screen recording of the video, a screenshot of the paused frame, or the file itself. From a chat, long-press and save. From a profile, screen-record.
We search several frames, not one
Up to 24 distinctive frames go to Google's web image index and Lens. A single face returns lookalikes; several frames of the same clip return the pages that actually host it.
You get the pages, with the poster's name
A TikTok, Reel or YouTube page carries the account that uploaded it. Pages whose thumbnail aligns with your frames are marked confirmed. Open them and compare.
One question should not cost a monthly plan.
You want to know who this is, once. People-search sites sell that as a subscription with a trial that renews.
$0.90 a search from a balance that never expires. A search that finds nothing costs nothing.

Straight answers.
The scan is free and shows how many pages carry the footage before you pay.
Find who posted this video free →How do I find out who someone in a video is?
Upload the video, a screen recording of it or a screenshot. We search several frames across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook and the open web and return the pages carrying the same footage. The original post names its account; that is the answer in most cases. One visitor uploaded a screen recording and the top result was the person's own fundraising profile.
Is this face recognition?
No. We never search by face and never build a profile of anyone. We search the footage: the exact frames of the clip you have. If those frames are published somewhere public, we find that page. A private person who never posted the video will not be found, and neither will a lookalike.
Can I find someone's TikTok or Instagram from a screenshot?
Often, yes. A screenshot of a paused TikTok or Reel carries the frame the platform itself uses as a thumbnail. We match that frame against the public pages that host it and return the account. Crop out chat bubbles and your own interface before uploading if you can; the frame is what matters.
The person messaging me sent this video. Is it really them?
Upload it. If the same footage turns up on a public account under another name, a stock site or a creator's channel, the person you are talking to is not who the video shows. If nothing turns up, the clip is at least not a known public video, which is not proof but is a good sign. See also the catfish check.
What if nothing is found?
Then the footage is not on a public, indexed page, or only the first seconds of a pasted link were searched. Upload the file instead of a link to search the whole clip, and leave your email on the result page: we look again over the following days and write once if it turns up. Nothing is charged for a search that finds nothing.
What does it cost, and do you keep the video?
The scan is free. Opening every link costs $0.90, from a wallet that starts at $1.90 and never expires. Your file is deleted one hour after the scan; results from a search without an account are kept 30 days and are not tied to you or to the person in the video.
