Findface

The FindFace program was created specifically for the largest social network “” in Russia; it is capable of searching for a person by photo on the Internet. The program is based on sophisticated technology that is capable of comparing millions of images with a specified photo, and as a result, you are presented with a similar file. This way, you can find a person with just his photo. The development was created by the Tech.Lab association.

Facial recognition technology was successfully integrated into the FindFace program, which made it possible to link it with the VKontakte portal. By indicating even a low-quality photo taken with a phone, you can find a person on the VKontakte social network, find out a lot of information or get in touch. The wrong angle or insufficient lighting is not a hindrance for the program; the technology will still be able to find the right person, and if not, then photo options that are similar will be presented. The service identifies photos with 70% accuracy, the search is very fast, and you will be provided with the result in just a couple of seconds.

Installing the FindFace application

The FindFace program has already been created for mobile devices on the Android system, you can download and install it directly from and use the capabilities of the new innovative product absolutely free of charge (!).
There are additional features that you can get for a modest fee. The monthly cost ranges from 150 rubles to 450, for which you will have the opportunity to make more precise advanced search settings, and will also be able to enter any number of search queries.
The program itself “weighs” little, so even weak and outdated devices can work with it quite fully. You can use the photo search function in several ways - through a browser, through an iOS or Android device. The operation of the program does not depend on the power of the device, since all operations are carried out on remote servers.

Today FindFace works with the VKontakte portal, and in the future it is planned to migrate the technology to other social, interactive projects.
