How to Find a Pornstar's Name (5 Proven Methods)
You've seen someone in a video and need to know who they are. It happens to everyone. Here are the most effective methods to identify any adult performer.
Method 1: Reverse Image Search
The fastest way to identify a performer is using reverse image search:
- Google Images - Right-click any image and select "Search Google for image"
- TinEye - Upload the image at tineye.com for matches across the web
- Yandex - Often better for adult content than Google
Pro tip: Use a clear face shot for best results. Crop out everything except the face.
Method 2: Adult Performer Databases
Several databases catalog performers with photos and filmographies:
- IAFD (Internet Adult Film Database) - The most comprehensive database
- FreeOnes - Great for finding social media links
- Babepedia - Includes measurements and career info
- Our site - Search our database of 5,800+ performers
Method 3: Reddit Communities
The Reddit community is incredibly helpful for identification:
- r/tipofmypenis - Post a screenshot and the community will identify
- r/pornID - Similar community focused on identification
When posting, include:
- Clear screenshot
- Video source if known
- Any distinguishing features
Method 4: Video Scene Databases
If you know the scene, these databases can help:
- Data18 - Comprehensive scene database
- Indexxx - Links performers to scenes
- Check video titles and descriptions for performer names
Method 5: Studio and Network Sites
Major studios list their performers:
- Check the video source (Brazzers, Reality Kings, etc.)
- Studios maintain performer rosters
- Many have search functions by physical attributes
Tips for Better Results
- Use multiple methods - Don't rely on just one approach
- Be patient - Some performers are harder to identify
- Check newer content - Active performers are easier to find
- Note distinctive features - Tattoos, piercings, and unique features help
When You Can't Find Them
Some performers:
- Only did a few scenes
- Work under multiple names
- Retired before major databases existed
- Work exclusively for one studio
In these cases, the Reddit communities are your best bet.
