Can I reverse image search a screenshot or a photo from my library?

Yes. Screenshots, camera photos, and saved images all work the same way. Take a screenshot of a dating profile, a marketplace listing, or a social post, save it to your library, then upload it to SherlockX. Cropping in tight on the part you care about usually gives cleaner results.

Does SherlockX identify a real person?

No. SherlockX does not identify anyone’s legal identity and is not facial recognition. It searches for where an image, or a visually similar image, appears online and summarizes the matching pages so you can review them and decide for yourself.

Can a reverse image search tell if a photo is a catfish or AI fake?

It gives you signals, not proof. SherlockX shows whether a profile photo appears reused on other pages or carries signs of being AI-generated, which can help you spot a possible catfish. No image check is perfect, so treat the results as one input and verify suspect pages yourself before drawing a conclusion.

Is my photo private when I search?

Your search history is stored locally in your browser, not on our servers. Photos are resized in your browser before upload, we use no third-party ad trackers, and we don’t sell your images or use them for ad targeting. The resized image is sent to our search service only to run the search.

What happens to my photo after the search?

The resized image is used to run your search and is not added to a public profile or sold. Your local history lives only on your device, and you can clear it any time from your browser.

Does reverse image search work for objects and products?

Yes. Search by image with a photo of any object or product — a watch, a bag, a gadget, a piece of furniture — and SherlockX finds matching pages across the web, with AI summaries of what it found so you can compare listings and spot reused product photos.
