Remove your face from PimEyes

PimEyes lets you opt your face out of its search results with the form at pimeyes.com/en/opt-out-request-form. You upload a photo of your face and a photo ID with everything except your name and photo blurred, plus an email address. This stops PimEyes from showing your photos; it doesn't remove them from the sites where they're posted.

What PimEyes does

PimEyes matches photos of your face across the web and shows where they appear. PimEyes is a face search engine: anyone can upload a photo of you and find other pages where your face appears. That's how many people discover reposted photos or fake profiles.

Good to know

Opting out hides your face from PimEyes results. The photos stay on the sites that host them, so the opt-out works best alongside takedowns at the source.

FaceCheck.ID is another face search engine with its own removal process.
