Five small choices about the image you upload that make a measurable difference to match quality.
A face search is only as good as the photo you feed it. A few simple habits dramatically improve your match rate.
Favour clarity over everything
A sharp, well-lit, front-facing photo gives the detection model the cleanest landmarks to work with. Sunglasses, heavy shadows, and motion blur all reduce accuracy.
- Use a front-facing angle where possible
- Make sure the face is well lit and in focus
- Avoid sunglasses or anything covering key features
- One face per image works best
- Higher resolution helps, up to a point
When results look thin
If a search returns few matches, try a different photo of the same person before assuming there is nothing to find. Angle and lighting can change the embedding enough to surface new results.
And remember — Deep Search descends past the indexed web to surface matches a normal scan misses.
