1. Use the creator's own links
Most creators link their OnlyFans from their public social profiles or a link-in-bio page. Opening the link from their verified profile is the safest way to land on the real account rather than an impersonator.
2. Browse a creator directory
Third-party directories such as OnlyFinder and OnlySearch index public OnlyFans profiles by keyword and category. They are independent sites, not run by OnlyFans, so results can be incomplete or out of date.
3. Search the web for their creator name
Searching the creator name plus "OnlyFans" often surfaces their official page or their public social profiles.
How to spot a fake or stolen account
- The account is not linked from the creator's own social profiles.
- The same photos appear under a different name elsewhere. Check with a reverse image search: see our tools comparison.
- Prices look too cheap, or someone asks you to pay outside OnlyFans.
- You are pushed to buy "leaks" or "full access" on another site. That is either a scam or stolen content.

What this guide will not help with
We do not cover ways to find out whether a partner, colleague or anyone you know privately has an account, to look someone up by phone number or email, or to unmask a creator who uses a stage name. Creators use stage names to stay safe, and OnlyFans' terms prohibit sharing other users' personal information without consent.
If your own content has been leaked
If you are a creator whose content has been reposted, or someone whose intimate images were shared without consent, read our guide to finding your own intimate images or use our Nude Finder. StopNCII and NCMEC's Take It Down help stop images spreading.
What we corrected
An earlier version of this page included methods for identifying private people, such as checking whether an email address has an account, phone lookups and face searches of people you know. It also made claims about directory sizes and verification requirements that we could not source. Those sections have been removed.
