Possibilities

Unique service

Search for relatives by photo

Find your relatives in the photo by comparing faces or determine that the same person is in different photos - this will help restore family ties and learn more about your ancestry

There are no analogues

Paternity test by photo

Take a paternity test if you have doubts: check the faces of your children or parents, but do not forget that this method does not yet have the highest reliability

Entertainment

Similarity from the photo

Test the faces of any people for similarity, determine who your child is more like: the possibilities of using the application are limited only by your imagination

Question - answer

What does the service offer?This service was created to help you find relatives and reveal the secret of your origin or the origin of your children. To this end, we have developed a unique, innovative test for paternity and other close relationships, as well as determining the similarity of two persons, which can be completed cheaply and quickly within one day, or rather instantly.
What is the idea behind this kinship test?The test is based on the premise that the facial characteristics of close relatives are similar, which is more than just a similarity visible to the naked eye. We would call this the general “mood” or “vibe” of individuals. Your face is an external visual manifestation of your phenotype (which, as is known, is formed on the basis of the genotype) and in it, like in a mirror, the features determined by your genes are reflected, which a person inherits from his father and mother or more distant relatives to varying degrees (see www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2018.00462/full). That is why external similarity often means kinship, which was no secret to people long before the invention of the DNA test. This natural ability to detect facial similarities between close relatives was developed through evolution. The emergence of such an ability in people confirms the relationship between similarity and kinship. Now, thanks to technology, we can determine facial kinship more accurately and impartially. This will allow you to better understand your genetic heritage.
What algorithms does the test use?The test uses machine learning algorithms (including neural networks), which were used to identify patterns in the facial features of close relatives, such as parents and their children, brothers and sisters.
What is the accuracy of such a test?A test for close relationship or paternity using a photo has an average accuracy of 80% (significantly lower when testing infants). This is a fairly high accuracy, in which, in some cases, a DNA test is not even required. Let us remind you that even a DNA test does not give 100% accurate results, and in addition, it can be erroneous due to the “human factor”, because passes through many hands.
What is important to know about this method of determining kinship?A distinctive feature of this test is the very high accuracy of a positive result and the rather low accuracy of a negative result. If we consider an example where a father, doubting the paternity of his child, uses our test (not random people are tested, but alleged relatives), then if the test result is positive, the probability of his paternity is actually very high. A negative test result, in general, does not guarantee the actual absence of kinship, since the child may have the dominant phenotype of the mother or even more distant ancestors. Thus, our test will help you save money on DNA testing, dispelling the first doubts, but not in all cases. In some situations, for example, when only a photo remains of a person or a DNA test is impossible for other reasons, our test will be indispensable for identifying kinship and searching for relatives.
How to get the most useful information from the test?Our test is not (yet) a full-fledged replacement for DNA testing, but you can approach testing wisely, which will increase its reliability and bring you maximum benefit. For example, you were adopted and are looking for your mother, you have her information, but on social networks you found several women with the same name. Use the test to compare with all these women - a higher percentage of the likelihood of being related to, you guessed it, your birth mother is likely to be. Narrowing your search in combination with our test gives the maximum result.
What about testing infantsTesting children under 3 years old is our weak point: infants have an unformed face and, if desired, you can find similar features in their face with anyone. Therefore, you should approach the results of such testing more critically than any other. But we are working to improve the quality of predicting kinship with a baby based on his face.
What are the requirements for the photo?Rules that will increase your chances of a successful and accurate test: one photo - one face, the face should not be hidden and should be frontal, a passport-style photo will be the best choice. The face in the photo should be as detailed as possible. The order in which photos are uploaded is not important (except for tests where the opposite is indicated), and peers in the photo give a more accurate result. IMPORTANT: remember that the front cameras on smartphones will make your selfie mirrored (to make sure that the photo is not mirrored, you can take a photo against the background of any inscription), and mirroring the face (as well as any distortion of it) provokes an unreliable result. And don't forget to use the tests as intended to get useful information.
How to improve the test results if they are not satisfactory?If the test results are not satisfactory, then you can repeat it with other photographs, where faces are depicted more clearly, with calm facial expressions, without foreign objects and strictly from the front.
Photo compatibility test, are you serious?Absolutely. Despite the fact that this test can be called entertaining, it performed excellently when tested. Funnily enough, it looks like this test can actually predict a strong heterosexual marriage.
What does a photo similarity test provide?This test does exactly what its name says: compares faces for similarity. This test does not use the full range of technological innovations that our other tests do: it is based on a fairly simple algorithm. This is an entertainment test and does not provide any useful practical information.
What does the test “who does the child look more like” give?This test compares the faces of a child and two parents for similarity: arrange a challenge! This test also doesn't use the full range of technological innovations that our other tests do: it's based on a fairly simple algorithm. This is an entertainment test and does not provide any useful practical information.
Prenatal photo test - is it possible?Technology does not stand still. We are developing technology for paternity testing of children in the womb. Unlike DNA testing, such a test will not embarrass both parents and will help avoid a showdown. As soon as such a test is possible, we will add it to our list of tests.
Is it possible to check paternity without taking a DNA test?Now, if you are wondering “how to find out if a child is yours without a paternity test”, “how to determine paternity without DNA” or “how to find out who the father of a child is without a DNA test”, then we can answer you that now you can take the test online! However, we must emphasize that our algorithm should not be used as the sole basis for making life-changing decisions. If establishing true parentage is important to you, we strongly recommend that you consider, in addition to our test, more accurate methods of determining parentage, such as DNA testing, which can provide a much higher level of accuracy and reliability.
