Good example why it is important to avoid private Photos on internet, a lot of crap like this app out there.

I tried the pro version - I found a picture of myself in crowd at a concert that was taken by a blogger more than 10 years ago. I didn't know I was in that picture.

I uploaded a celebrity photo and it only returned a few TV screengrabs and promo shots. Not even a fan selfie.

Nope. But if the search results didn't find a single social media pic, it vibes like a scam. It's probably just hooked into Google image search or something.

Maybe, but reverse image search with face recognition is a big risk, PimEye isn't the only one, there are also FaceCheck, ProFace Finder and some other which are using AI, accessible for any s..normal.

I used my mastodon picture. I was hoping it would find at least that, but it couldn't.

Good for you

Are there any versions where you don't have to pay to find the link of yourself?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Bad if you don't find yourself without an app, but worse when any idiot can track and stalk you usinge this app.
