PimEyes is an advanced face recognition search engine, a reverse image search tool, and a photo search mechanism used to find which websites publish your photos online.

Good example why it is important to avoid private Photos on internet, a lot of crap like this app out there.

I tried the pro version - I found a picture of myself in crowd at a concert that was taken by a blogger more than 10 years ago. I didn't know I was in that picture.

I used my mastodon picture. I was hoping it would find at least that, but it couldn't.

I uploaded a celebrity photo and it only returned a few TV screengrabs and promo shots. Not even a fan selfie.

Nope. But if the search results didn't find a single social media pic, it vibes like a scam. It's probably just hooked into Google image search or something.

Maybe, but reverse image search with face recognition is a big risk, PimEye isn't the only one, there are also FaceCheck, ProFace Finder and some other which are using AI, accessible for any s..normal.

Are there any versions where you don't have to pay to find the link of yourself?

Bad if you don't find yourself without an app, but worse when any idiot can track and stalk you usinge this app.
