What this covers

Reverse image search across multiple public engines to find where a photo has appeared online.
Face matching against public profile pictures to surface accounts using the same likeness.
Catfish and impersonation detection by clustering avatars used across platforms.
EXIF and visual metadata where present in the source image.

How FootprintIQ runs an image search

Hash and embed the image into a 512-dimension vector for face-similarity matching.
Query multiple public reverse-image indexes in parallel.
Cluster matches by likely identity and rank by confidence.
Pivot to a username scan when a high-confidence handle is recovered.

Honest limits

FootprintIQ uses Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) on public data only. We never bypass authentication, scrape behind logins, or access private accounts. Every result is labelled with a measured per-site detector baseline, kept separate from identity evidence, so you can see which hits need human review. Use FootprintIQ for self-audit, authorised investigations, or compliance research — not for harassment, doxxing, or surveillance. Image intelligence requires an active paid plan.

FootprintIQ — Ethical Digital Footprint Intelligence

FootprintIQ is an ethical digital footprint intelligence platform. We use open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques to help people understand their online exposure — without surveillance, monitoring, or invasive data collection. Our platform scans usernames across 400+ social media platforms and forums, detects email breaches, identifies data broker listings, and labels every finding through our proprietary LENSiQ engine, which keeps a checker's measured per-site baseline separate from identity evidence — all built on publicly available data with full transparency.
