Take the frame
Screenshot the clearest moment — or in the app, trim the video to the seconds they are in.
Find a creator from a video
The video never says who they are.
A reposted reel, an ad, a clip with the handle cropped off. Screenshot the frame and scan the face — or hand the whole video to the app and let it pull the faces out.
- Screenshot works
- Or scan the video
- Several people at once

Faciey is a face-recognition app. People add their own face and the links they publish; anyone who sees them can scan the face and reach all of it. Nobody is in it who did not put themselves there.
How it worksThe method
How to find a creator from a video
Reposts strip credit. A clip that started on TikTok arrives on your feed with the watermark cropped, the caption rewritten and the handle gone — and the one thing still in the frame is the person's face. That is the part worth searching.
On the web, screenshot the moment their face is clearest and scan the image. In the app you can skip the screenshot: hand over the video, trim to the seconds they appear in, and the distinct faces come back as cards.
Getting a usable frame
- Pause where the face is front-on and still, not mid-turn
- Avoid heavy motion blur — one sharp frame beats ten fast ones
- Crop to the person if several people are in the shot
- Screen recordings and re-filmed screens both work
Three steps
Frame, scan, follow
2
Scan the face
Every face in the frame is detected and matched separately against people who chose to be findable.
3
Get the creator
Their name, their verified badge and every platform they publish on.
Works for any kind of video
Wherever the credit got lost
Reels and TikToks
Reposted, cropped, re-captioned — the face survives all of it.
Ads and commercials
The person selling it is usually the person you wanted to follow.
Music videos and lives
Dancers, guests, the person in the background you noticed.
Your own footage
Something you filmed at an event, full of people you never got the names of.
Finding a creator, answered
How do I find a creator from a video?
Take a screenshot of the video frame showing the creator's face. Upload it to Faciey at faciey.com/scan. Faciey identifies the face and shows you the creator's name and all their social media profiles.
How do I find who is in an ad or commercial?
Screenshot the ad or pause the video. Upload the image to Faciey. If the person in the ad has a Faciey profile, you'll see their name, verified badge, and social handles in seconds.
Can I find someone's Instagram from a YouTube video?
Yes — screenshot a frame from the YouTube video showing their face, upload it to Faciey, and if they're on Faciey their Instagram and other social handles will appear in the results.
How do I identify an influencer I saw online?
Save or screenshot any image where their face is clearly visible. Upload it to Faciey's scanner. Faciey returns their profile with all linked platforms — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, and more.
Creators: make the repost lead back to you.
Your face is the only credit that survives a crop. Put your links behind it and every stolen repost still points home.
