Frequently asked questions
How do I search across social media platforms?
Use a cross-platform social search tool to cover many networks at once, then switch to platform-specific tools for deeper analysis on the accounts you find.
Can I find someone's social profiles from a photo?
Yes — a reverse face search can surface where a person's face appears, which often includes public social profiles you can then verify.
Is social media OSINT legal?
Collecting publicly available information is generally legitimate. Respect platform terms, avoid harassment, and don't access private content you're not authorized to see.
