This website can find every photo of you online
Using AI, this website scans the internet for every image of you, even the ones you didn’t know existed.
The internet is home to millions of websites, from educational gems to bizarre corners you wish you’d never clicked on.
The web is a wild and weird place. But every once in a while, a site pops up that makes us go: “Wait… what did I just see?”
Welcome to PimEyes – the website many people are now calling the most disturbing site on the internet.
And no, it’s not part of the dark web or some sketchy conspiracy hub. It’s a real, legit AI-powered tool that does one thing really, really well.
It finds your face. Everywhere.
PimEyes is a facial recognition search engine.
Just like how Google helps you find cat videos or that spaghetti recipe you forgot to bookmark, PimEyes helps you find pictures of yourself from all over the internet.
Here’s how it works: you upload a clear photo of yourself to the site, and in just a few minutes, PimEyes scours the web using AI and facial recognition tech to locate other pictures of you floating online.
That includes old social media posts, random blog appearances, and even that awkward photo from your cousin’s wedding in 2007. Thanks, Facebook.
However, it’s not perfect. The basic version is free to use.
You can give it a whirl and see what pops up, but don’t be surprised if a few lookalikes show up along the way.
If you’re curious (or a little brave), you can opt for a premium search. This upgraded version digs deeper and even gives you the exact links where those pictures appear.
That could mean finally tracking down that one photo your friend swore they deleted.

So, is this tool useful or just creepy? Well, that depends on how you see it.
Some users have praised PimEyes for helping them spot people using their image without permission.
Others though? Well, they’re a little freaked out.
One woman said the site pulled up a photo of her when she was just 10 years old. Another called it “a stalker’s dream”.
Thankfully, if the site finds an image you don’t want online, it offers a way to request removal.
Whether you think it’s futuristic, freaky, or a bit of both, PimEyes is a wild peek into the world of AI-powered facial recognition.
