## What it is
Exadel CompreFace is a free, open-source face recognition system that provides REST APIs for face recognition, verification, detection, landmark and mask detection, head pose, age, and gender recognition. It is deployed easily with Docker or Docker Compose and requires no prior machine learning skills to integrate.

## Use cases
- add face recognition login to my app
- verify user identity from a selfie photo
- detect faces and landmarks in images via API
- estimate age and gender from photos
- detect face masks in camera feeds
- self-host a face identification service with docker
- search a face database to identify people
- detect head pose from images

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted face recognition service with a simple REST API
- you want to integrate face detection or verification without ML expertise
- you want docker-based deployment with SDKs for multiple languages
- you need age, gender, mask, or head pose detection alongside recognition

## When to avoid
- you need general object detection or OCR beyond faces
- you cannot run Docker or a self-hosted server
- you need a lightweight embedded or client-side-only face model
- you require fully managed cloud face recognition with compliance certifications
