How it works and what happens to your photoHow Ollie matches your face
- 1
Ollie finds your face. InsightFace, an open-source face detector, finds the largest face in your photo and lines it up so the eyes and mouth sit in the same place every time.
- 2
The model turns it into numbers. Ollie's own machine learning (ML) model, a neural network, reads the aligned face and outputs 512 numbers that describe its structure. Photos of the same person land close together, and different people land further apart.
- 3
Celebrities are ranked by closeness. Those numbers are compared with 40,000+ photos of 5,000+ celebrities (2 to 12 photos each). Each celebrity is scored by their single closest photo, and you see the top five with the photo that matched.
Common questions
How accurate is Ollie?
Ollie's face-recognition model scores 98.5% on Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW), a standard test that asks whether two photos show the same person, and none of the people in LFW were in its training data. Lookalike matching has no right answer, so there's no accuracy figure for it. Your top match is the celebrity whose face the model places closest to yours, and the percentage is only meant for comparing your five results with each other.
What actor or actress do I look like?
Set Compare with to Actors before you search, and Ollie ranks only people best known for acting (on Wikidata), so your top five are all actors and actresses. Leave Gender on Auto to compare you with actors of the gender your face looks, or pick Men or Women yourself. With All celebrities, your matches can also be singers, athletes and other famous people.
Is Ollie free?
Yes. You get 5 free searches a day without an account. After that, sign in with email or Google to keep searching; accounts are free too. There are no ads and nothing to buy. The limits exist because every search runs a neural network on a paid server.
Do you keep my photo?
No. Your photo is held in memory on the matching server only while your search runs, then discarded. It is never saved, logged, shown to anyone, or used to train the model, and neither are the numbers made from your face or your results. Ollie keeps a small record of each search (the time, your account or an IP-based ID, and your IP address) to enforce the free-search limit, and deletes it after 90 days.
