Find someone like you. Like two peas in a pod: similar people. Why are people alike?

Only a few manage to meet their double, coming face to face just on the street. Fortunately, modern opportunities today make it possible to find a “twin brother” using a smartphone or computer, without leaving the sofa or at a special twins festival. However, there are many options, but not all of them are safe and effective. Therefore, it is better to use proven services with an impeccable reputation.

How to find your double - choose a good photo

To begin with, you will need a photo of yourself from a frontal angle, with high clarity and a plain background. A passport photo or one as close as possible will do. A prerequisite is only your image without other people or animals. The gaze should be directed directly at the camera. Next, you need to download the photo to your computer and use the services of one of the sites to search for your “mirror image”.

The principle of the search is to select more than 40 control points similar to your facial features from the alleged double.

We use search engines

You can also find a similar image or person using the usual search engine any browser. Below is an example of how to compare and analyze an image through the Google search engine:

Communities on social networks

On social networks such as Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki and Facebook, it is not uncommon to find groups and communities where users can independently find similar-looking doubles. Publics are built on the principle in which people themselves, registered on the network, add personal photos or photographs of friends whose double they want to find and announce their desire to find a similar person. Here you can offer news or upload the image yourself on the “wall” or in a special album.

If any person has found a similar user or identified similarities with their own appearance, they should write to the community administrator or leave a comment under the post, you can also post a private image, confirming the fact of coincidence.

Lookalike competitions

Similar events take place all over the world and allow many people to find someone with similar facial features. There are often situations here where it is difficult to distinguish the participants in the competition from each other, because there are almost twins.

There are also competitions that have one thematic focus, for example, competitions for lookalikes of a certain celebrity, then all more or less similar people are selected for the so-called “similarity competition” and the jury selected for the event chooses the winner.

What do you need to find a double?

Computer with Internet;
Photo of the person for whom the double will be searched.

I advise you to take an ordinary photo that has not been edited with Photoshop or other tools.

Also, the accuracy of the search will depend on where exactly the person is looking in the photo. If he looks straight ahead, the search will be accurate; if his face is turned to the side, then most likely you will not get an accurate result. By the way, the background also plays an important role. It is desirable that it be neutral.

How to find a double among celebrities?

Many people want to find a celebrity who is like them. As I mentioned above, to effectively search for a double, you need to use only proven services. In fact, there are many such services. In addition, they can be used for free online.

For example, I want to find a celebrity similar to me, for this I will have to register, after which I can safely upload photos and select gender. In the photo you will need to mark the center of the pupils of both eyes and click “Send”. After this, the expected result will be returned. If you don’t like the result and it is unsatisfactory, you can repeat the procedure a second time by clicking on the “Again” button.

Doubles at international festivals

Many people ask the question: “Is it possible to find a double at an international festival?” Let's figure out what such a festival actually represents. Nowadays, many people find similarities with famous personalities, and some even participate in competitions to choose an exact copy. If you watch TV, you've probably noticed that there are various parody shows on. It is in them that parodies of people take place, even adopting their mannerisms and gestures. Within the framework of such programs, politicians and actors meet.

I will finish here and make a small summary. Thus, today I told you how to find your double from a photo. As you can see, there is nothing complicated about this. The only thing I want to note at the end is that you should not be fooled by various promises about finding similar people via SMS - in 90% of cases this is a deception, unfortunately...

Let's say you have some kind of image (drawing, picture, photograph), and you want to find the same (duplicate) or similar one on the Internet. This can be done using special tools from Google and Yandex search engines, the TinEye service, as well as the amazing PhotoTracker Lite browser extension, which combines all these methods. Let's look at each of them.

Search by photo in Google

Provide a link to the image on the Internet
Uploading a file from a computer

As a result, we get a complete list of similar pictures from the image that was chosen as a sample:

There is another good way that works in the Chrome browser. While on the page with the image you are interested in, move the mouse cursor to it, right-click and in the tooltip that opens, select “Find image (Google)”:

You will be immediately taken to the search results page!

Search by images in Yandex

With Yandex, everything is no less simple than with Google :) Follow the link https://yandex.by/images/ and click the camera icon in the upper right corner:

Enter the address of the image on the Internet or upload it from your computer (you can simply drag it to a special area at the top of the browser window):

The search result looks like this:

You instantly have access to the following information:

What are the online dimensions of the image you uploaded as a sample for searching?
List of sites where it appears
Similar pictures (modified based on the original one or based on which the algorithm decided on their semantic similarity)

Many have probably already heard about the online service TinEye, which Russian-speaking users often call Tinai. It is developed by experts in the field of machine learning and object recognition. As a consequence of all this, Tinay is great not only for finding similar pictures and photographs, but their components.

TinEye's indexed image database contains more than 10 billion items, and is the largest in the entire Internet. “Everything can be found here” - this phrase perfectly characterizes the service.

There is another way to search in one click. By default, the “Show quick search icon” item is activated in the application settings. When you point at a photo or picture, a round green icon pops up, clicking on which starts a search for similar images - search results for Google, Yandex, Tinay and Bing will automatically open in new tabs.

The extension was created by our compatriot, whose hobbies are closely related to photography. He originally created this tool to quickly find his photos on other people's sites.

When you might need it

You are a photographer, you post your photos on the Internet and want to see on which sites they are used and where your copyrights may be violated.
You are a blogger or copywriter, write articles and want to choose an “unhackneyed” image for your material.
What if someone uses your photo from your VKontakte or Facebook profile as an avatar on a forum or a fake account on some social network? But this is more than possible!
You found a photo of an actor you know and want to remember his name.

In fact, there are a huge number of cases when searching by photo can be useful. You can give another example...

How to find the original of a given image

For example, you have some kind of photograph, perhaps cropped or photoshopped, and you want to find its original, or a version in better quality. How to do it? Conduct a search in Yandex and Google, as described above, or using PhotoTracker Lite and get a list of all images found. Next, follow the following:

The original image is usually larger and of better quality than the altered copy resulting from cropping. Of course, you can set a picture to any size in Photoshop, but when you enlarge it relative to the original, artifacts will always be observed. They can be easily noticed even with a cursory visual inspection.
Original photographs often have watermarks indicating the author of the photo (last name, website address, company name, etc.). Of course, anyone can add a watermark to absolutely any image, but in this case, you can look for a sample photo on the website or by the author’s last name, he probably posts his portfolio online somewhere.
And finally, a very simple sign. If your sample photo is black and white (sepia, etc.), and you find the same, but full-color photo, then you obviously do not have the original. much more difficult than converting a color photo to black and white :)

There are people in the world who are very similar to each other - height, age, eye and hair color, physique. However, they are not close relatives. Scientists have calculated that for each person you can find at least 6 people very similar to him. Some electronic resources implement a search for doubles using an uploaded photo - you can easily find out whether you match the appearance of any famous or ordinary person. Let's find out how to find your double via the Internet.

It requests access to your VK page, upload the original photo and start the process. After a while, you see the profiles of the most similar people found, which can be filtered by age and place of residence. Next, you will have to choose a double manually - by opening each account and comparing the appearance yourself.

Groups on social networks

Groups have been created on Odnoklassniki and VKontakte that search for the most similar people. Type “doubles” in the search bar, a list of similar communities will open. You can upload your photos to any of them and wait until someone recognizes you as their twin. Or manually view already added pictures - there is no automated search in groups.

Search engines

“Do I have a double?” – even the largest search engines can answer this question. Yandex and Google are able to find similar images from their extensive databases. They work similarly: go to the “Pictures” tab, click the camera icon in the search field, upload a photo from your computer or paste its address on the Internet. You will see hundreds of images of strangers who resemble the given one. Of these, you have to manually select the ones that best suit you. To find out who it is, open the sites on which a specific photo was found.
