Our Most Effective Pornstar Finder Tools
There are lots of different pieces of information you can use to help name that porn star.
The first and most obvious is…
Reverse Image Search
The most obvious is with an image and there are lots of sites that use AI facial recognition software to help narrow down your results.
The most popular of these is PornStarByFace, a search engine which uses deep neural networks to help you identify an adult performer.
You do need to have a decent image in order to do this so the success of the results can depend a lot on how good your screen capture is.
But, in most cases, a fair image can be all you need but if you are looking to find a porn star who is pretty obscure then you might find yourself out of luck.
Other sites with reverse image searching include NameThatPorn, SaucePLZ and FindPornFace.
DVD Credits
The second easiest way to identify a porn star is if you know the movie title.
Adult VOD streaming sites like HotMovies, Adult Empire and Fyre TV all feature details of who stars in their porn movies, and these platforms are normally very user-friendly.
Some VOD sites like HotMovies even include reverse image searching.
Advanced Search
If you don’t know the porn movie you are looking for then your next stop is to hit up a site like IAFD.com.
The Internet Adult Film Database is the equivalent of iMDb but for the porn industry and can help you identify movies and stars.
Their advanced search function lets you narrow down your hunt by offering up filters which include Ethnicity, Hair Color and Tattoo searches.
They also let you identify Sex Notes so if the porn star you are looking for was involved in a DP or fisting scene then this could help.
Adult Search Engine
Just like Google, but better, an adult search engine only returns NSFW content in your results.
There are tons of these sites around (some are known as porn aggregators). The most well-known is probably Nude Vista.
Also known as the ‘Magic Teapot’, Nude Vista has some advanced search filters as well as a huge model directory to reference.
Tailoring the search parameters can help you narrow down your results a lot; it’s not a silver bullet but in some cases could work really well.
Adult Forums
If you STILL can’t locate the performer that you’re looking for using these methods then the next step you have is to fall back on a more traditional method…
…asking other people for help.
Yes, adult movie fans are on hand to help you in your quest to track down that porn star you’ve become obsessed with and there are tons of adult forums and sites where you can post your request.
Our complete guide to the best adult forums should be able to help you out and this includes places like AdultDVDTalk, ViperGirls and Fritchy.
Some of these sites have hundreds of thousands of members and their online communities are more than happy to help a fellow porn fan in need.
Another good platform which is full of helpful adult movie fans is Reddit and, again, there are tons of NSFW subreddits that could help you find the name of that porn star.
Probably the most useful is the ‘Help a Fapper Out’ PornID subreddit. With more than 591k members all offering their ‘professional’ advice on your pleas for help, they should be able to put an end to your search.
Adult Source Finders
Last but by no means least, we have some specific platforms which have been set up specifically to help porn fans just like you to identity adult movie stars.
The most popular of these is NameThatPornStar, a unique site which is populated by an army of avid fans whose sole mission is to identify adult performers.
Yes, there really is such a place and the beauty of NameThatPornStar is that the community is driven by a rewards system so there is a real incentive to identify as many models as possible.
All YOU have to do is register an account and add your request to the dogpile. You’ll need to upload an image, clip or photo gallery and URL if you can plus as much information as you have to help the search along.
In most cases you can get a result within a few hours but for more obscure requests you’ll need to be prepared for a wait.
Based along similar lines but with some added functionality including reverse image searching (see above), NameThatPorn also has a community of porn detectives on hand.
