Pornstar databases
Reference databases that index adult performers, their filmographies, and studio credits. We grade these on data accuracy, coverage depth, and how usable they are, not on how much media they host.
- 1
Pornhub's performer directory ranks names by views and links every uploaded scene tagged to them. It's not a biographical database, but for sheer 'what has this person done here' coverage it's enormous.
- 2
xHamster's performer hub pairs basic bios with every scene tagged to a name across the tube. Coverage is wide and community verification exists, but the data is thin next to a dedicated database.
- 7
A DVD and VOD store whose pornstar index is a genuinely useful side effect: browse by performer, see full title lists, and cross-reference studios. Buying is the point, so expect a hard sell.
- 8
The go-to reference for Japanese adult video, indexed by ID code with cast, studio, and user ratings. Menus in several languages help, though the site throws Cloudflare checks and mirrors constantly.
- 14
A cleaner English-language JAV reference with actress pages, cover art, and genre tags. It's newer and coverage of obscure labels lags, but for mainstream titles it's easy to search.
- 15
An older performer directory tying names to galleries and basic stats. It still resolves plenty of 'who is she' questions, though the ad density is high and a chunk of outbound links have rotted.
- 17
Part review site, part forum, with performer and title pages that long-time collectors keep reasonably accurate. It reads like an early-2000s message board because it basically is, and search is clunky.
- 18
A Japanese-language actress database with detailed profiles, debut dates, and title lists. No translation and a busy layout make it tough for non-readers, but the depth on JAV performers is excellent.
- 21
Upload a photo and its facial recognition tries to name the performer, which works surprisingly well for well-known faces. It's a single-purpose tool, so don't expect filmographies or bios.
- 26
A straightforward filmography index in the IAFD mold, covering DVD-era titles and casts. It's usable and free, but the data set is smaller, the design is stuck in 2005, and updates are slow.
- 27
A niche index focused on Eastern European models with alias tracking that can untangle who's who. It's sparse, dated, and inconsistently maintained, so treat it as a supplement rather than a primary source.
Frequently asked questions
What should I use if I need to verify a performer's exact credits and filmography?
IAFD is the industry standard for settling credits because it offers exhaustive filmographies and scene by scene cast lists. Other options like Data18 also provide tight cross referencing for performers in specific releases.
Are there specific databases for Japanese adult video content?
JavLibrary is the primary reference for Japanese adult video. It uses ID codes to index cast, studio, and user ratings.
Which options are best if I want to manage my own local media library?
ThePornDB and StashDB are designed specifically for media managers and organizers. They provide metadata via API or through community verified entries that work well with tools like Stash.
I'm trying to identify a performer from a single photo. Which site helps with that?
Indexxx focuses on identifying performers from images and mapping their aliases across different sites. Babepedia also offers identification tools and community threads to help you figure out who a person is.
Which sites provide the most biographical information like measurements and social links?
FreeOnes provides deep bios and social links alongside measurements. Boobpedia and Babepedia also focus heavily on measurements and career notes, though their depth depends on community edits.
