How does Snily match images to my photos?

Snily uses the reference photos uploaded to an account as a starting point.

When its searches turn up images online, the system compares them with those photos using image fingerprinting and AI-based image similarity.

Why use both? Because leaked photos aren't always exact copies.

Someone might crop an image, resize it, or make a few changes before uploading it somewhere else. A basic comparison could miss that. Snily's matching technology helps pick up similarities even when the image has been altered.

Of course, a possible match isn't automatically proof of a leak.

A Snily specialist reviews the first detected match before deciding whether there's enough reason to send a takedown request.
