• Face-focused reverse search

  Upload a photo to find visually matching faces across indexed public-web images, with results typically in seconds.

• Source reports

  Paid access surfaces where matches appear so you can review external pages—the service does not host those pages.

• Alerts and monitoring

  Subscription tiers include PimEyes Alerts for new appearances, with higher caps on PROtect and Advanced.

• Filtering and deep search

  Advanced plans advertise richer filtering and Deep Search for high-volume research—confirm live feature lists.

• Removal guidance

  Publisher tools and optional takedown-agent add-ons help request removals from site owners and search engines.

• Opt-out

  PimEyes provides an opt-out path for people who want their face excluded from public search results—confirm steps on the official Opt-Out page.

1. 1

   Open the search page

   Visit pimeyes.com and accept the publisher’s terms before uploading.

2. 2

   Upload a clear face photo

   Use a well-lit image within the stated file-size limits (publisher cites support up to a multi-megabyte cap).

3. 3

   Run the search

   Wait for matches. Free results may be blurred; paid plans unlock clearer previews and source links.

4. 4

   Review sources

   Open external URLs from the report to see where images appear and decide next steps.

5. 5

   Set alerts if needed

   On eligible plans, enable alerts so new public matches can notify you later.

• Privacy-conscious individuals

  Check a personal digital footprint and track unexpected republishing of photos.

• Creators and photographers

  Spot unauthorized reuse of portrait or model images for copyright follow-up.

• Authorized researchers

  Higher tiers and OSINT offerings target institutional research—confirm eligibility and lawful-use rules with the publisher.

Freemium search

Free searches exist with limited visibility; paid tiers unlock blur-free results, higher daily caps, and alerts.

Public-web index only

Matches come from publicly accessible sites that permit indexing—not private social feeds by default. Confirm coverage claims on-site.

Not identity verification

Publisher states the tool matches visual patterns and does not verify personal identities.

Upload handling

Publisher markets secure processing and says uploads are not stored without permission and not used to train models—read the live Privacy Policy.

Lawful use only

Intended for personal and lawful monitoring. Misuse may violate laws and the Terms—follow local regulations.
