How to find a JAV code from a screenshot
Saw a screenshot on social media, a forum or a group chat and want to know which video it comes from? As long as you have the frame, image search can compare it with indexed titles and suggest the code and the timestamp of the matching scene. Here is how to do it, and how to get better matches.
Updated: 2026-10-15How image search works
AVPeek indexes frames from the videos of indexed titles. When you upload a screenshot, it looks for the closest frames in that index and lists candidate titles with their code, a similarity score and the timestamp of the matching frame.
Results are suggestions based on similar frames, not guarantees. Always compare the result frame with your screenshot. Only indexed titles can be found, and coverage keeps growing.
Step by step: from screenshot to code
- Get a screenshot: capture the frame while the video plays, or save an image someone shared.
- Open the AVPeek home page and choose "Screenshot".
- Upload the image: click the box to pick a file, drag the image onto it, or copy the image and press Ctrl+V (⌘V on a Mac).
- Press "Find similar titles" and wait a few seconds.
- Read the results: each one shows the code, similarity and timestamp, and some include the matched frame.
- Open the title page to check the title, performers and release date.
Which screenshots work best
Use a sharp frame that shows the whole scene. Close-ups of a face or a small detail give the search much less to compare.
Crop out anything added later: re-upload site watermarks, subtitles, ad banners and black bars all get in the way. The original video frame alone works best.
Avoid heavily compressed or tiny images. If you have several screenshots from the same video, try them one by one; a different scene often helps.
How to tell whether a result is right
A higher similarity means the frames are closer, but trust your eyes: check that the outfit, setting, framing and performer match.
The timestamp shows where the similar frame appears in the video. If the top results all have different codes, the frame probably lacks distinctive details, so try another screenshot.
When nothing matches
The most common reason is that the title is not indexed yet. Heavy cropping, overlays, mirroring, filters or very low quality can also make matching fail.
Try the code and performer search too. If the screenshot shows a studio logo, a performer name or any text, searching for it is often faster.
