Eyematch.ai
Eyematch.ai is a reverse face search engine that scans millions of publicly available online images. Upload a face photo and it returns visual matches with links to their source pages, so you can see where your likeness circulates.
What is Eyematch.ai?
Eyematch.ai is a reverse face search engine published by EYEMATCH AI PTE. LTD, a Singapore company online since mid-2024. You upload a photo of a face, the platform converts it into a unique pattern of facial data, what the terms call facial vectors, and compares that pattern against an index of publicly available images. A few seconds later it returns a gallery of visually similar pictures, each carrying a link to the page where the image was published at the time of indexing. Two boundaries define the product. The first is the index, which holds publicly accessible images only: the platform states it does not reach private accounts, personal devices or restricted databases, and that it neither runs targeted searches on individuals nor tries to confirm identities when building that index. The second is the output. Eyematch.ai assigns no names to faces: it surfaces visually similar images and their source pages, and nothing else, so no identity, no address, no file on a person. Face detection is presented as robust to changes in lighting, angle and expression, and when a photo contains several people, clickable boxes appear around each detected face so you can choose which one to analyse. The business model is a plain subscription: Standard at 20.99 USD per month, Advanced at 99.99 USD per month, and a quote-based Custom tier. There is no free version, the terms stating flatly that use of the service is not free. Creating a user account costs nothing and the account can be deleted in self-service, but running a search requires a paid plan. Access is web-only, on a current version of Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari, with no mobile app and no public API. The interface exists in five languages: English, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Geography and age matter here. The service is not offered to residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Argentina or the US state of Illinois, and it is reserved for people aged 18 and over. The publisher claims uploaded images are neither stored nor used to train models, and runs two removal routes, an opt-out form for the index and a DMCA form for copyright. Lenso.ai acts as a contractual intermediary, and the site names Lenso.ai and PimEyes as alternatives.

When to use Eyematch.ai / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Eyematch.ai is the right fit.
When to use Eyematch.ai
- Individuals who want to check where their own photos have ended up on the open web, the personal photo check the Standard plan is sold for
- People meeting strangers through dating apps, listed on the pricing page under dating safety, who want to know whether a profile picture appears elsewhere online
- Content creators and models tracking unauthorised reuse of their images and possible copyright misappropriation
- OSINT researchers and investigators tracing a face across public web pages, the audience named for the Advanced plan alongside frequent users
- Agencies and security teams needing high search volumes, the audience the quote-based Custom plan is aimed at
When not to use Eyematch.ai
- Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Argentina and the US state of Illinois, to whom the service is simply not offered under the terms and the privacy policy
- Anyone under 18: the terms and the privacy policy reserve the service to adults
- Anyone who wants to test before paying, since there is no free plan, no free trial, and no refund once a search has been run
- Developers and product teams needing programmatic access: there is no public API, no iOS or Android app and no third-party integration, the service is browser-only
- Anyone expecting a named identification, or expecting to run searches on other people: the tool returns visually similar images rather than a name, an address or a record, and the terms prohibit searching for images of any other person
How to use Eyematch.ai
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Take out a subscription first: a free account opens the user area, but running a search requires a paid plan
- Prepare a sharp photo in which the face is fully visible, with no heavy shadow and no sunglasses
- Go to eyematch.ai and use the Click, drop or paste a face image area, then pick the photo from your device
- Wait for face detection; if the photo shows several people, a box appears around each face found
- Choose the face you want to analyse
- Tick the required consents: transfer of the photo, confirmation that you are over 18, and that your use is not prohibited in your jurisdiction
- Confirm and launch the search; the system scans online images and compares facial features
- Browse the gallery of results and open the source pages behind the matches
- If you want your own images removed from the index, use the opt-out form, or the DMCA form for a copyright claim
- Cancel whenever you like, through the cancellation feature available in your user account
Pros & Cons
Pros

- No refund once a search has been performed

- The site contradicts itself on third-party searches: the FAQ answers yes to looking for someone else's photos, while the terms prohibit searching for images of any other person

- The search quota is stated twice, differently: the pricing page body offers up to 40 searches daily, its own meta description up to 40 searches per month, a gap of one to thirty
- Thin transparency around the product: no about page, no named executive, no public social account, no hosting country disclosed, and no API, mobile app or third-party integration

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Eyematch.ai handles your data.
GDPR overview
There is no GDPR implementation to report: the term never appears on the site, a full-text check of the ten archived pages, text and HTML alike, returning zero occurrences. The framework claimed instead is Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2020. Consistently, the service is not offered to residents of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, so the publisher treats the GDPR as inapplicable. There is no Article 27 EU representative, no named data protection officer and no EU address. The only rights spelled out by name come from US state laws: California (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Virginia and Nevada. The privacy policy does grant access, rectification and deletion of photos whatever your country of residence is, answered within one month. A generic claim of compliance with all regional and international regulations appears on the privacy-protection page, but never names the GDPR.
Who owns the data?
EYEMATCH AI PTE. LTD holds all intellectual property rights over the software, its program code, the index and its contents, and the trademarks. Your uploaded photo remains yours: the terms state it serves only to run the search and undergoes no other technological operation, and results are visible only to the user who launched the search. By using the service you expressly authorise the generation of facial vectors from that photo. Personal data is shared with service providers, namely hosting, mailing, payment, legal advice and technical support including Google Inc. Beyond those parties, the privacy policy states that data is neither sold, shared nor transferred.
Reuse rights
Nothing in the terms grants you a reuse licence over what you find. Results are links to third-party pages that were public at indexing time; those pages are outside the company's control and visiting them is at your own risk. Use is restricted to civil purposes, and it is prohibited to search for images of any other person, to prepare or commit an offence, to transmit unlawful content, or to search for people living in the excluded territories. The terms also insist that results are indicative and must never be used as the only system to establish or determine a person's identity. Rights granted under the terms are not transferable, and no clause allows commercial reuse of the results.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
No hosting country or region is named anywhere on the site. The privacy policy says a hosting provider stores the data on its server without ever naming that provider, and states that personal data may be transferred outside your country of residence and stored on servers located in other jurisdictions. Employees of EYEMATCH AI PTE. LTD may themselves be located in other countries and may access data from authorised internal equipment. For those international transfers the policy promises contractual safeguards or binding internal rules, again without detail. The applicable jurisdiction is Singapore: the terms state that sending your photo means sending it to the country of the company's registered office, disputes are arbitrated in Singapore, and the framework claimed is the Singapore Personal Data Protection Act 2020. One technical observation made outside the publisher's own statements: the domain is served behind Cloudflare, on an anycast address in AS13335. That says nothing about where data is actually stored, since it describes delivery rather than storage.

Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Eyematch.ai.
- Contractual trap on third-party searches: the FAQ answers yes to looking up someone else's photos while the terms prohibit searching for images of any other person, so a user can breach the contract believing the site authorised it
- Stalking and harassment: a face search engine lets anyone trace a person from a single picture, including an ex-partner, a photographed minor or a witness who never consented to being found
- False positives: the terms call the results indicative and forbid making them the only basis for a decision, because a resemblance is not an identity
- Consequential decisions: using an unverified visual match in recruitment, insurance or an investigation, where the terms explicitly rule out business, investment or legal reliance
- Biometric data: the upload generates facial vectors, and while the publisher states nothing is kept, that claim cannot be verified from the outside and no audit or certification is published
- Advertising contradiction: one page states there is no collaboration with external advertising networks while the privacy policy names Google Inc. as an advertising and analytics partner, leaving what is actually shared unclear
- Financial and legal exposure: a monthly subscription renewing automatically, with no trial and no refund after a search, while accessing the service from an excluded territory puts the user at risk, and disputes go to a single-arbitrator arbitration in Singapore with a class-action waiver
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Setup is minimal: a web service with nothing to install. The terms ask only for an internet connection, a current version of Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari, and cookies enabled. The homepage says no registration or technical setup is required to start a search, though a paid subscription is, and a free account opens the user area. Before sending a photo you tick three consents: transfer of the image, being over 18, and lawful use in your jurisdiction. No technical skill is needed; the only real difficulty is supplying a sharp photo, face clear, no sunglasses, no heavy shadow.

Should you pick Eyematch.ai?
Eyematch.ai does one thing: it takes a face and finds where that face appears on public web pages, quickly and without ceremony. That focus is its main quality. The positioning rests on a specific idea of trust, with a public-only index, no name ever attached to a face and no training on uploaded images, and the publisher is identifiable, a named Singapore company with a published address and removal forms that work without an account. The reservations are just as concrete. There is no free trial and no refund once a search has been run, so you commit money before knowing whether the index holds anything about you at all. The team behind the product is anonymous and no hosting country is disclosed. Two internal contradictions deserve to be known before subscribing: the FAQ says yes to searching for another person's photos while the terms prohibit exactly that, and one page claims no collaboration with advertising networks while the privacy policy names Google Inc. as an advertising partner. The pricing page even contradicts its own metadata on whether the 40-search quota is daily or monthly. Legally, this is a Singapore product: PDPA 2020, no mention of the GDPR anywhere on the site, European Economic Area and United Kingdom markets excluded, arbitration in Singapore with a class-action waiver. That framing largely decides who can realistically use it. Eyematch.ai is most convincing as a way to audit your own photographic footprint, and as a professional research or investigation aid in the jurisdictions where it is offered. Read the terms before pointing it at anyone else: results are described as indicative and must never be the sole basis for a decision about a person.
