Questions

What is PimEyes?

A face search and reverse image search service. Upload a photo to find other photos of the same face online, each with its source page and a similarity score.

What's the difference between Standard Search and Deep Search?

Standard Search finds copies of the same image. Deep Search finds the same face in different photos.

How accurate is it?

Results depend on the photo. Clear, front-facing photos work best. A similarity score is a lead, not proof; always open the source page.

How long does a search take?

Most Deep Searches finish in under a minute. Some take a few minutes; results appear in History when ready.

What happens if a search fails?

A Deep Search that can't finish isn't counted.

What else can PimEyes look up?

Phone numbers (caller details where records exist), emails and passwords in known data breaches, and public Instagram profiles.

Can it search private accounts?

No. Only public web pages are searched.

Can I delete my searches?

Yes, delete any search from History at any time.

Is it legal to search someone's face?

Searching public pages is legal in most places, but laws on facial recognition vary by country and US state, and using results to harass or stalk someone is illegal. Only search photos you have a legitimate reason to check.
