Ever wondered if there was someone out there who looked just like you? We’ve all heard the urban legend that there are 6 people out there who look just like us—but how, exactly, can you find your identical stranger? With the power of the internet, of course! In this article, we’ll tell you 10 different sites and apps you can use to search for your doppelgänger in seconds.

Twin Strangers
Download Article
Check out Twin Strangers to find your twin lookalike. It’s a free website that uses an algorithm to scan your face and match it with other users. To start searching, simply make an account and upload your photo for free, then allow the AI to run a search. If you find anyone who looks like you, you can send them a message to start chatting.
- Twin Strangers only searches for lookalikes within their own site, meaning your doppelgänger will have to have an account on there, too. However, Twin Strangers has more than 9.5 million users, so the odds are high!
- Twin Strangers is free to use the first 5 times. After that, it will ask you to sign up for a paid account.
