Lenso.ai

Upload one photo and Lenso runs it through separate models for People, Places, Duplicates, Related, and Similar images. Each category returns a different result set, so a portrait search and a landmark search don't compete for the same slots. You can also search by text when you have a description instead of a file.

The People category focuses on facial details rather than overall composition, which is how it finds photos of the same person in different settings. This is facial recognition search applied to the open web, not to a private photo library. Lenso invites users to try face search for free, then pay to unlock the source pages. It's the fastest way to learn where a selfie has traveled.

Duplicate search looks for the same file or a lightly edited copy and ranks the pages that host it. Think of it as a duplicate image finder and an image source finder in one pass, since the same list of pages answers both questions. Lenso positions this as a copyright protection tool, and the output is practical: a list of domains plus links you can put in a claim. Exact copies are easier to prove than lookalikes, so this category carries the strongest evidence.

Research Mode digs past the results shown in a normal search and returns up to 10,000 matches for People and Duplicates, roughly ten times the standard depth. Advanced Filters narrow that pile by page language, domain, date range, image size, and a keyword in the page title. Both are Professional features, and both add a few seconds to each search.

You can attach an alert to a category and get an email when new matches appear, with 10 alerts on Starter and 50 on Professional. Unlocked results save automatically into collections, so a case built over several weeks stays in one place. Search links can also be copied and shared, and only you see the underlying query.

The Developer plan opens the same engines through a reverse image search API, with up to 5,000 calls a month covering image search and face search. Request counts appear in the user panel, so you can watch usage without building your own metering. It's aimed at teams embedding visual search into a product rather than at individuals.

DMCA Assist collects the links and sources you select, drops them into an email template, and produces a message you can send to the host. It's a drafting aid, not legal advice, and it ships with Professional. For small creators without a lawyer on call, that template removes the most tedious part of a takedown.
