How to find people online using PimEyes

Share

PimEyes is an AI-powered face recognition search engine and reverse image search tool that allows users to search for online images of a person by uploading their photo.

The online tool performs reverse image searches and enables them to discover the sources where the images have appeared on the internet.

Users can upload their faces via the camera icon or upload the image they want to find. The facial recognition search technology examines the face, identifies where it appears and obtains entry to all websites where the matched image is found.

This tool can be handy for fact-checkers and journalists while conducting investigations. It is also good for personal use as it helps you to find out whether one’s image has appeared in a wrong context and when finding a missing person or a long lost old friend or acquaintances.
