PimEyesThree ways to search
| Start from | What you get |
|---|---|
| A photo | Other photos of the same face, with source pages and similarity scores |
| A phone number | Caller details such as name, line type and carrier where records exist (more) |
| An email address | Whether it appears in known data breaches |
Photo search finds what text search misses
Names are shared by thousands of people and easy to fake. A face is not. When the only thing you have is a profile picture, a face search can link it to other pages where the same person appears, under the same name or a different one.
Where the information comes from
Photo results come from public web pages. Phone lookups use public and commercially available records, which are most complete for US numbers. Breach checks compare against breaches that have been made public. Nothing private is unlocked.
Use it responsibly
Search photos you own or have a legitimate reason to check: your own pictures, a dating match before you meet, or a profile that is asking you for money. Don't use a face search to follow, harass or expose someone. Laws on facial recognition differ by country and by US state, so check the rules where you live.
Common questions
Can I search for a person with just a photo?
Yes. A face search finds other public photos of the same face and the pages they're on.
Can I find someone's name from a phone number?
PimEyes Phone Lookup shows caller details where public records exist, often including a name for US numbers.
Is people search legal?
Searching public information is legal in most places, but using it to harass, stalk or discriminate is not. Some uses, like tenant or employment screening, have extra rules in the US.
