In their own words
PimEyes
PimEyes searches publicly accessible web images for faces visually similar to a supplied image, then links to the websites where results appear. It says the service does not identify or verify individuals. Whole-image reverse search is also available for exact matches, altered versions, and visually similar images. The free plan costs nothing and allows 10 searches per day, with no takedowns. Open Plus lists 75 daily searches and 10 alerts; PROtect lists 125 searches per day, 20 alerts, 200 takedowns, AI reports, and result management; Advanced includes unlimited daily searches, 500 alerts, 1,000 takedowns, and full Deep Search. Monitoring alerts can track new online appearances, but takedowns are not automatic: removal depends on the external site owner. Results exclude social media and professional networks. Uploaded search images are automatically deleted within a maximum of 48 hours. Users can request a verified opt-out from future searches. PimEyes says it encrypts image processing, describes the service as GDPR compliant, and says it does not share data with third parties.
