SnapByFace

SnapByFace is a desktop application for finding a specific person across large collections of photos and videos. Instead of manually opening hundreds of files, you can use a reference face image to search for matching people throughout your local media library.

For photographers and video editors, finding a particular person in a large collection of footage can be a repetitive and time-consuming task. You may need to locate a guest in event recordings, find a person across multiple video clips, or organize years of family photos. SnapByFace offers a more direct way to search for matching faces without relying entirely on filenames, folders, or memory.

SnapByFace is designed for Windows and macOS users who want to search their own media collections. Privacy is an important part of its design: your photos and videos can be processed locally on your computer without needing to upload your media to a cloud service or create an online account.

The tool is useful for photographers, video editors, content creators, and anyone managing a large personal photo or video library. Face matching may be affected by lighting, camera angles, occlusion, and image quality, so users should review results to confirm matches.

If you often know who you are looking for but cannot remember which file contains them, SnapByFace provides another way to explore your existing media collection.
