PimEyes

PimEyes is a facial recognition search engine that lets users upload a photo and search across more than 10 billion indexed images on the open web to find where that face appears. The service states it delivers results in under 5 seconds with 99.5% accuracy, and it supports uploading up to 5 photos per search, each up to 8 MB. Beyond one-time searches, PimEyes offers real-time monitoring with instant alerts when new matches for a face are found, along with guidance for requesting removal of unwanted images and AI-generated reports summarizing search results. The site states photos are processed securely and are not stored without user permission, and it says its infrastructure is GDPR-compliant with end-to-end encryption. PimEyes is positioned as an identity-protection tool, aimed at people who want to monitor where their own likeness is published online, including images posted without consent, as well as at those investigating copyright infringement of photos featuring them. It offers three paid tiers - Open Plus, PROtect, and Advanced - differing in daily search limits (75 to unlimited) and number of active alerts (10 to 500), billed monthly or yearly. One limitation is that broad face-search tools like this raise privacy concerns, since the same technology that helps people find their own photos can also be used to search for images of others.
