About this tool
Plan a reverse-image audit of your profile photos: which engines can answer your question, which crops to submit, how long it takes.
This planner turns a description of your profile photos into an ordered reverse-image audit: it ranks Google Lens, Bing Visual Search, Yandex Images and TinEye by what each can actually do, lists the crops to submit, and scores the exposure the photos carry. The ranking reflects real engine capability — TinEye finds copies of the same photograph but never a different photo of the same person, and Google deliberately does not offer face matching, while Yandex is the strongest free engine at face similarity. Nothing is uploaded; the tool only produces the plan you then run yourself.

Engines are ordered by what they can technically do for your goal, not by popularity.
Face-only, background-only and text crops each answer a different exposure question.
Photos multiplied by crops multiplied by engines, at three minutes a search, so you know what you are committing to.
Yandex Images is the strongest free option for finding a different photograph of the same face; Google and TinEye will not do it. Google Lens deliberately does not offer face matching, and TinEye matches only copies of the exact image, including resized and cropped derivatives.
The engine receives your image and may retain it under its own privacy policy, but mainstream reverse-image engines do not add uploads to their public index. Paid face-search services are the real concern, because submitting your face hands a biometric template to a company whose business is selling face lookups.
The major platforms strip EXIF, including the GPS IFD at tag 0x8825, when you upload. Files you send directly — email attachments, chat file transfers, cloud share links to the original — usually keep the coordinates, so strip EXIF yourself before sharing a source file.
Start with the host's own reporting form, quoting the exact URL and the original you hold; most platforms honour a copyright or impersonation report from the person in or behind the photo. Keep the URL list from your audit as evidence, and consult a lawyer if the use is defamatory or the site ignores the request.
