Comparison
SourceFinder vs other movie finder apps
Plenty of apps promise to name the movie from a clip. Most of them fall apart the moment your clip isn't a clean link: no link, no answer. And when their match fails, you're back to asking "movie name?" in the comments.
SourceFinder is built for how clips actually reach you: links, saved videos, screenshots, stuff friends send you. And when the AI can't place something, the community can.

Why people switch to SourceFinder
Paste a link from TikTok, Reels or X
Copy the link from TikTok, Instagram Reels or X, paste it into SourceFinder, and it pulls the clip and finds where it came from.
No link? Upload the video or a screenshot
Saved videos, screen recordings, screenshots from a group chat, posts from private accounts. SourceFinder takes uploads straight from your camera roll, so you never get stuck because the link is gone.
The movie or show, plus the episode
Movies and TV are both covered. For a TV clip you get the show and the season and episode when the scene can be matched, so you can jump straight to it.
Where to stream it, right away
Every result lists the services carrying it, from Netflix and Prime Video to Disney+, Max, Hulu and Peacock, split into streaming and buy or rent.
A community when the AI misses
Obscure clip? Post it to the SourceFinder community with the link or a screenshot and other movie fans reply with the title. Browse solved requests in case someone already asked.
Every search saved
Your search history keeps every title you have found, so the clips you scroll past turn into a watchlist.
Comparison questions
Is SourceFinder better than other movie finder apps?
+
For the way clips actually reach you, yes. Most movie finder apps only work if you still have the original link. SourceFinder takes links from TikTok, Instagram Reels and X, and also lets you upload a video or screenshot from your camera roll. You get the title, the episode for TV, and where to stream it. When a clip is too obscure for the AI, the SourceFinder community steps in instead of leaving you with no answer.
What is the best app to find a movie from a TikTok?
+
SourceFinder. Copy the TikTok link, paste it into the app and get the movie or show, the episode for TV, and every service streaming it. If you only have a screenshot or a saved video, upload that instead. It is free on iPhone, iPad and Android.
What if a movie finder app cannot identify my clip?
+
With most apps, that is the end of it. With SourceFinder, post the clip to the community with the link or a screenshot and other users who recognise the scene reply with the title.
Is SourceFinder free?
+
Yes. SourceFinder is free on the App Store and Google Play, with free searches every day.
