Profile Scanner: How to Find All of Someone's Profiles

A profile scanner finds the social media and dating profiles that belong to one person, starting from a name, email or phone number. Deepscanner does this inside one report: it scans public records, social networks and the web, then lists the profiles and usernames it can link to that person. It does not take a username as the starting point.

• Start with: full name, email address or phone number
• Finds: social and dating profiles, usernames, photos, web mentions
• Time: about 2 minutes
• Private: the person is never notified
• Nothing found: your money back, request within 30 days

What is a profile scanner?

A profile scanner is a tool that takes one detail about a person and finds the online profiles tied to it. It saves you from typing a name into Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and a dozen other sites one at a time. People also call it a people scanner or a profile search.

The results are only as good as what is public. Profiles are matched to the person, so a clean match on email or phone is stronger than a guess from a name. A profile with locked privacy settings, or one made under a different name and email, may not show up.

How do you find all of someone's social media accounts?

1. Pick your best detail. An email or phone number links to accounts more reliably than a common name.
2. Try free searches first. Search the name on Google with a city or school, and use each network's own search box.
3. Check the clues. Match photos, location, mutual friends and age before you decide it's the right person.
4. Run a scan. Deepscanner searches many sources at once and groups the profiles it matches to the same person.
5. Read the report. Social and dating profiles and usernames sit together with other details.

Start a scan on deepscanner.app by choosing Name, Email or Phone.

How do you search social media by name?

Start with the exact full name, then try common short forms such as Mike for Michael. Add something that narrows the name: a city, an employer, a school or a known friend. Free searches on each network work for uncommon names and break down for common ones, because hundreds of people share them. A name scan helps most when you add detail, and an email or phone number helps more.

Can you find social media accounts by email?

Yes. Enter the email address on Deepscanner and it scans public records, social networks and the web for profiles linked to it. A report can include social and dating profiles, usernames, photos and web mentions. It can also show whether the email appears in known data breaches.

Can you find social media profiles by phone number?

Yes. Start with the phone preview, which shows carrier, line type and location, free, in about 60 seconds. The full report then adds the name, profiles and other details tied to that number.

What does a profile scan show?

The scanning screen also lists marriage and divorce records, professional licenses and court documents.

While it searches, Deepscanner shows the record types it is checking, including social media.

Can you search by username?

This is the question people most often bring to a profile scanner, and the honest answer is a limit of the product. No. Deepscanner does not take a username, an address or a photo as the starting point. It searches by full name, email address or phone number, and then lists any usernames it finds as part of the report. If all you have is a username, search it on each network directly.

Does the person know you scanned their profiles?

No. The person is never notified, and the report shows only in your own account. Calling or messaging them afterward is what tells them you looked. Public profiles that you view yourself on a social network can show up as a visit on some networks (LinkedIn, for example, shows people who viewed their profile), so use the scan first and view profiles second.
