PimEyes

PimEyes is an online face search engine and reverse image search tool that helps you discover where your images appear across the open web. Upload a clear photo (or use your camera) to get results in less than 5 seconds, then review matches with detailed source information for each appearance.

Built around advanced facial recognition, PimEyes searches for instances of a specific face across a large indexed image set. It’s designed to help you monitor your digital footprint, audit copyright usage, and set up alerts so you can act when new appearances show up online.

For privacy and control, PimEyes offers privacy-first processing with options like monitoring and removal guidance. Depending on the subscription tier, you can also unlock real-time monitoring features and management tools like alerts and AI-generated reports to support ongoing protection of your visual identity.

What can I use PimEyes for?

You can use PimEyes to find where your face appears online, monitor new appearances with alerts, and audit potential copyright or unauthorized reuse across the open web.

Is PimEyes a traditional reverse image search?

It works like reverse image search in that you upload a photo to get visual matches. PimEyes adds face recognition so results focus on the face rather than only the full image.

Which parts of the internet does PimEyes search?

PimEyes is focused on the open web and excludes social media and video platforms.

How do I search with a photo?

Upload a clear photo or use your camera. PimEyes supports photos up to 8 MB (maximum 5 photos) and returns results in under 5 seconds.

Can I remove my photos from PimEyes search results?

You can opt out so existing photos don’t appear on PimEyes’ public search results page. This process is irreversible and requires identity proof, and it doesn’t remove the photo from the original website.

Is my photo stored when I run a search?

Photos are processed securely and never stored without your permission.
