Question from a doppelgänger seeker...

Hello. Tell me, is it possible to find your double on the Internet? I tried to register on several sites, but everywhere they only take money (for example, via SMS), and the result is zero. I have several photos: side, front, large and small. I would like a free option, and not too complicated, for beginners...

Good afternoon

You can search, but you can’t always find it...

Before starting the search, I want to say a couple of things:

1. firstly, do not send any SMS to short numbers (in most cases, they will not find a double for you, and they will write off money from your phone... At least read the reviews on independent resources first before paying for the service);
2. you need a photo of the person (for whom you want to find a double). The photo must be in JPG format (all services accept this format). The photo should clearly show the face so that the person in it is looking directly at you. Preferably a photo of normal size (most importantly, not too small)

So, let's start the search...

All matches of persons presented in the article are random! I don’t want to discredit anyone, glorify anyone, or harm anyone in any way.

One of the most powerful and reliable ways to find a double is to use well-known search engines: Yandex, Google and others. The essence of the method is that search engines allow you to search for images by image. Those. if you have a close-up photo of a face, you can upload it to the service and find similar pictures.

In addition, another significant plus is that this method is free, and the search engines are quite powerful and will give a head start to all other services combined!

I’ll show you using Yandex images as an example: first just follow the link above ( https://yandex.ru/images/ ). At the top, on the right, there is a search button for the image - click it!

Below is my original photo, for which I was looking for doubles.

As you can see, the search engine found dozens of pictures: many of the faces in the photo are very similar to the original! Moreover, another advantage is that you will not only find photos, but you will also be able to find resources and addresses of pages on the Internet where these photos are presented (i.e., it is quite possible that the contacts of your double are left there and you will be able to contact him - if, of course, you need it 🙄).

PicTriev // search for a double among celebrities

The presented service is unique in its kind (there were several more, but they stopped functioning, at least those that I know about).

The essence of the service is that it recognizes your uploaded photo (more precisely, the face on it). Then it begins to analyze it and look for a match between your face and celebrities.

Results can vary greatly depending on the quality of the original photo (and its resolution, by the way!). For best results, you need to upload a photo of the frontal face.

After going to the site, you only need to click one button “Upload Image” and select a photo from your hard drive.

• the site will automatically determine the gender of the person captured in the photo (in the example below, the gender is determined correctly!);
• age will also be determined (approximately);
• several will be shown famous people and similarity percentages. In the example below, I should note that the degree of similarity is quite high - visible to the naked eye.

The service leaves the most positive impressions of its work. In general, I'm happy!

TinEye // search among 16.8 billion images

Another service for searching by photo. All you have to do is click one button to upload your photo. In a moment, the service will give you search results.

The service allows you to search among 16.8 billion images! This figure is very large and not every service can compete with so many photos and pictures.

The service is positioned as a search engine for images. In the future, it is planned to introduce subscriptions that signal the appearance of your copies (or similar) photos on the Internet, as well as search for several images at once.

In general, for those who are looking for pictures and photographs, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with such a large database!

Note: with the help of TinEye, some users identify unknown soldiers by finding copies of photos on American servers with full list and a description of the people present in the photograph.

How-Old.net // age determination from photos

I couldn’t ignore this service: it, of course, does not know how to search for doubles, but it determines the age of people from an uploaded photo. Moreover, it does it very accurately!

For example, I uploaded photographs of people I know (whose ages I know), my own - the age is determined either accurately or with an error of 2-3 years!

To determine age: just go to the website and upload a photo (button Use your photo, see screenshot below).

The result will not be long in coming: in a few seconds you will see the age of the person shown in the photo.

Note: if you upload a photo that shows several people at once, the service will determine the age of everyone.

For high definition accuracy: upload high-quality photos without processing them with Photoshop (and other graphic editors).

This is where I end the article, I hope you now have not one, but several doubles 😀!

Some tournaments are held on the Internet based on user photos. They make a whole show out of other competitions. There, on one stage, dozens of copies of Alla Pugacheva, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and other great people compete for the title of main double. This is a truly interesting sight.

Look-alike competitions have also become popular on television. True, they are more like parody competitions. Their peculiarity is that they are held among famous actors, singers, and politicians.

Some stars hire their doubles to work for them. This gives them the opportunity to be in two places at once, for example, at a concert in the Kremlin palace and in the city of Saratov. This is convenient, especially with a very busy schedule.

At one time, this method was actively practiced by the group “Tender May,” which was popular in the nineties. The number of their doubles reached several dozen, which was eventually stopped by law.

There are also double scammers. These are people who speak on behalf of a famous person without his knowledge or permission. They, as expected, issue tickets, put up posters about the concert, thereby packing large concert halls. They sing to a soundtrack, so it’s difficult to distinguish a “fake” star from a real one. In most cases, many spectators remain fully confident that they have attended a concert of their favorite performer.

We have all ever noticed the extraordinary similarity of two completely different and strangers who look alike like twins. The existence of doubles has often been described in history, literature and cinema, and many of us have asked ourselves the question: does my double really live somewhere? Let's look at how likely it is.

Is it true that every person has a double?

Geneticists say that the probability is very high. The fact is that there are a lot of people in the world today who descended from a much smaller number of ancestors, so we don’t have such a large set of genes in our arsenal.

Yes, there are enough of them and they mutate and evolve quite often, which allows us to be so different from each other. However, no matter how rich and diverse our genes are, their uniqueness is not enough to provide all 7.3 billion people with completely different faces.

Geneticist Michael Sheehan compares the existing gene pool to a huge deck of cards. No matter how big this deck is, if you shuffle it seven billion times, there is a high probability that you will get the same deal twice.

Why are our faces so different?

Today scientists cannot say with certainty how many and which genes are responsible for human face. According to Dr. Arthur Bode, entire clusters of genes are responsible for eye color, which we may inherit from a distant ancestor, hair color and skin tone.

Our faces are much more diverse than any other part of the body. Let's say, how many shapes of hands or necks are there in the world? Of course, a person’s hands are as unique as their face, which is worth only with fingerprints. But let’s try to answer the question: how long will it take us to list the uniqueness of the hands of 10 people? And how carefully will we have to look at them? And we will complete the same tasks with faces in just a few minutes.

This diversity in faces is due to evolutionary necessity. Humans are social creatures; We spend a lot of time in each other's company, and our well-being depends on our ability to choose the right company for ourselves. Different, unique faces make it easier for us to remember who is who. If, for example, a person helped us, we will remember his face and recognize him among others as “helpful company.”

Despite the many differences that make our faces so different, we still belong to the same species. We have approximately the same proportions and structure of the body and face, we need the same basic things. It is precisely belonging to the same species, the same DNA, that allows two strangers to suddenly turn out to be as similar as two peas in a pod.

Today, racial and ethnic identities are increasingly being blurred, thanks to globalization, free labor markets and emigration. Previously isolated ethnic groups now freely mix their genes. This allows you to increase the opportunity to meet your double. After all, the more people on the planet, the more often nature is forced to repeat itself.

What increases our chances of getting a “double”?

The chance that there are doubles from different races is critically minimal. It is unlikely that we will see a Japanese who is surprisingly similar to a Norwegian or a Nigerian. The likelihood of seeing someone else along the way increases if you belong to the most common ethnic groups, such as Chinese or Indian.

Also common common features Mestizos have faces because there are a limited number of combinations that mix character traits two races or ethnicities. Don't forget about the family resemblance. In the Western world, the tradition of the extended family has long since sunk into oblivion, so it is quite possible that a stranger who looks a lot like us is actually not such a stranger, but our distant relative on our mother's side.

There is a theory according to which every person in the world has up to 6 doubles. Surely many of you, if you have not encountered such a phenomenon, have at least heard about it. There are even special portals on the Internet that help you find your twins. With their help, many of the heroes of our today's history met. One such portal is Twinstrangers. All you need to do is register on the site and upload your photo. Searching for doubles takes up to 28 days.

If famous people have doubles, then ordinary people probably have them too...

Geography among twins can truly surprise: for example, a resident of the Faroe Islands can find his “brother” in Russia, and an American can find his “brother” in Ireland.

Some scientists consider such unusual similarity a sign of a “secret relationship.” I wonder where the thread between Yulia Kovalchuk and Sarah Jessica Parker got lost?

But the most surprising thing is different. History knows many examples when the destinies and circumstances of the lives of doubles were repeated in a mystical way...

Geneticist Nikolai Degtyarev believes that meeting your own double does not always bring good things. Sometimes people experience inexplicable fear from such proximity.

And sometimes it happens that after meeting with a “clone” one of them dies. The question of why this happens remains open. Some attribute this to the realm of the mysterious, others believe that in this way nature carries out a kind of “culling”, allowing a stronger individual to survive.

But this obviously doesn’t scare people, since sites for finding doubles are in such demand.

Amazing, isn't it? One of these girls is native Irish, the other is a resident of Sweden. Wonders of nature, no less!

Or maybe horror stories Are geneticists just fairy tales and superstitions? I don’t know about you, but I would be interested in meeting my “clone”... I’m off to register!
