PimEyes is a well-known face search engine that finds where a face appears online, behind a subscription for most result links. FaceSeek does the same core job as a privacy-first reverse face search — with free daily searches, so you can run a real check before you ever pay.
Try a free face search →PimEyes is a facial-recognition search engine that scans the public web for a face and shows where similar faces appear. It surfaces that matches exist for free, but opening most result links relies on a paid subscription, which makes it powerful but costly for casual, one-off checks.
FaceSeek is a reverse face search built to be privacy-first and face-search-only. It matches the face itself across the public web, gives you free daily searches with no account required to start, doesn't keep your uploaded photo, and only charges for premium when a search actually finds matches.
| Feature | PimEyes | FaceSeek |
|---|---|---|
| Free daily searches | Shows matches exist; subscription to open links | Yes — free searches every day |
| Account required to start | Yes for most features | No — start searching immediately |
| Matches across different photos | Yes | Yes — matches the face, not the file |
| Charged only on a match | Subscription-based | Yes — an empty search is free |
| Privacy of your upload | Varies by plan | Upload used only to run the search, not stored |
Free daily searches let you run a real reverse face search first, instead of subscribing just to see whether there's anything to find.
FaceSeek matches the geometry of a face, so it finds the same person across different photos, angles, and lighting — not only exact-image copies.
Your uploaded photo is used only to run the search — it isn't stored, published, sold, or added to a public profile.
Yes. Like PimEyes, FaceSeek is a reverse face search engine that finds where a face appears across the public web. It adds free daily searches, requires no account to start, and doesn't store your uploaded photos.
FaceSeek gives you free face searches every day with no account required to start. PimEyes shows that matches exist but relies on a paid subscription to open most result links, so FaceSeek is the more accessible option for casual, one-off checks.
Both scan the public web for a face, but no two engines index exactly the same pages. Running your photo through more than one — FaceSeek plus another — gives the most complete picture.
No. FaceSeek uses the image only to run your search and doesn't keep it afterward, so you can check a face without leaving a permanent copy behind.
Searching public web content by face is legal in most places for legitimate uses like verifying an online contact or finding your own photos. Don't use it to stalk, harass, or unmask people against local law.
