Luxand

Luxand provides a cloud-based face recognition API designed for integration into websites, mobile applications, and software systems. The core functionality includes face detection, face comparison, face search, and face identification against a database of previously tagged individuals. The API also supports liveness detection to verify that a face is from a live person, helping prevent spoofing attempts using photos or videos. Additionally, it offers age estimation, gender classification, and emotion detection from facial expressions in a single photo. Developers can use the API to build applications that automatically tag people in images, match faces against a watchlist, or authenticate users biometrically. The platform includes separate specialized APIs: a Baby Maker API that generates predicted images of a child based on two parent photos, an Aging API that simulates the aging process of a face, and a FaceSDK for offline or on-device processing. These tools are applicable across multiple industries: in crypto and iGaming for identity verification and fraud prevention; in payments and fintech for secure user authentication; in trading platforms for KYC compliance; and in retail and logistics for employee or customer monitoring. The API returns structured JSON responses with confidence scores, bounding boxes, and feature vectors, allowing flexible integration with existing backend systems. For face search, users can index faces into a gallery and then query with a new photo to find the best match among millions of entries. The service supports batch processing, real-time video stream analysis, and adjustable sensitivity thresholds. Pricing is based on a subscription model starting at $5 per month for new users, with a free plan available that requires no credit card
