+        ## About This Service
+        
+        This facial recognition system uses **dlib's face recognition model**, which provides:
+        
+        - **High Accuracy**: 99.38% accuracy on the Labeled Faces in the Wild benchmark
+        - **128-D Embeddings**: Compact representation of facial features
+        - **Robust Detection**: Works with various lighting conditions and angles
+        - **Privacy-Focused**: All processing happens in your browser session
+        
+        ### How It Works
+        
+        1. **Face Detection**: Locates faces in uploaded images
+        2. **Feature Extraction**: Generates 128-dimensional embedding vectors
+        3. **Similarity Comparison**: Compares embeddings using cosine similarity
+        4. **Threshold Filtering**: Returns matches above the confidence threshold
+        
+        ### Use Cases
+        
+        - Identity verification
+        - Duplicate photo detection
+        - Face clustering in photo libraries
+        - Security and access control systems
+        
+        ### Technical Details
+        
+        - **Model**: dlib ResNet-based face recognition
+        - **Detection**: HOG + CNN face detector
+        - **Embedding Size**: 128 dimensions
+        - **Computing**: CPU-optimized (no GPU required)
