How to search by image on Facebook
Facebook assigns a numerical ID to all photos uploaded to the social media channel. Images downloaded from Facebook have that numeric ID as part of the filename by default. If you know this number, you can use it to find the source of the photo on Facebook.
It could be the profile picture of the person who shared it, or the person whose profile you’re trying to find might be named or tagged in the photo.
