We’re sorry to hear about your frustration, but we’d like to clarify how subscriptions work. A subscription, by definition, renews automatically unless it is canceled. This is clearly stated during checkout and in our the terms of service. Additionally, a renewal notification is always sent to the email address associated with the account before the charge is made, so users are informed in advance. If you only need the service for a short period, you can cancel the subscription at any time to prevent renewal. Even if you forget to cancel, you can reach out to our support team for a review and, when appropriate, they will cancel the subscription and issue a refund for you. We do not renew subscriptions “without telling users,” and we do not aim to be inflexible. We encourage anyone with an issue to contact support directly so it can be reviewed and resolved properly.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and we’re sorry to hear about your frustration. To clarify one important point first: captchas are a security measure used to protect users and the platform from abuse, automated scraping, and malicious activity. When captchas appear repeatedly, this is most often caused by the use of a VPN, proxy, or IP address with a poor reputation. Using PimEyes without a VPN typically results in far fewer (or no) repeated captcha challenges. Regarding previews and paywalls, PimEyes is a search engine that processes and analyzes large amounts of data, which comes with significant operational and legal costs. For that reason, full result details (such as unblurred thumbnails and source URLs) are available only after purchase. Limited previews are intentionally provided so users can see whether results exist before deciding to unlock them. This structure has not been designed to “trick” users, but to balance transparency, sustainability, and compliance obligations. We understand that changes over time may feel restrictive compared to earlier versions of the service. However, no core functionality has been removed for paying users, and we continue to invest in security, accuracy, and user protection — especially given the sensitive nature of facial search technology. That said, we take criticism seriously. If you experienced specific technical issues, excessive captchas without using a VPN, or believe something did not work as intended, we encourage you to contact our support team directly so we can review your case.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Captcha checks are a security measure used to protect the platform from abuse and automated traffic. When captchas appear repeatedly or feel “never-ending,” it is most commonly caused by the use of a VPN, proxy, or an IP address with a poor reputation. In such cases, the system increases verification to keep the service secure. Using PimEyes without a VPN and from a standard residential network usually resolves this issue and allows searches to work normally. If captchas persist even without a VPN, our support team can review the situation and help.

PimEyes is a search engine that indexes publicly available images at the time they are discovered. In some cases, source pages may later be removed, restricted, moved, or temporarily unavailable by the website owner, which can result in errors when opening the URL. This is outside of PimEyes’ control and does not mean the result was invalid at the time it was indexed. We do not host the images or manage third-party websites, and availability of source pages can change at any time. If you believe a specific result is incorrect or encountered a technical issue with your purchase, you can contact our support team with the order details so we can review the case.

Captcha checks are a security measure designed to protect the platform from abuse, automated scraping, and malicious activity, and to keep the service reliable for all users. In most cases, excessive or repeated captchas are triggered by factors such as VPN usage, proxy connections, unusual traffic patterns, or browser configurations that make normal verification difficult. When these factors are present, the system may reset the session, which can feel disruptive. That said, captchas are not intended to interfere with legitimate use, and they are not meant to penalize paying users. If captchas appear excessively, we strongly recommend disabling VPNs or proxies, clearing browser cache/cookies, and using a standard browser configuration, which typically resolves the issue. We appreciate the feedback and take it seriously. Platform usability and stability are important to us, and we continuously review our security systems to balance protection with a smooth user experience.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand why this situation has been frustrating. All subscriptions on PimEyes are recurring by default, which means they renew automatically unless canceled. A renewal notice is always sent to the email address associated with the account before the charge is processed, specifically to avoid unexpected renewals. That said, if a renewal occurred by mistake and the service was not used after the charge, our support team can review the account and, where applicable, cancel the subscription and process a refund. We do take communication seriously, especially given the sensitive nature of the service, and it’s not our intention for any request to go unanswered. In some cases, replies may be delayed due to high request volumes or messages not reaching us correctly. We encourage you to contact support again via the official support page or by replying to the confirmation email associated with your purchase, making sure to include the email address used for the subscription and the order or invoice number. This will allow us to locate the account quickly and resolve the matter.

PimEyes does not guarantee the presence of specific results, as the system only indexes publicly available online content — not private or restricted sources. The subscription tiers differ by features and access limits, not by altering the core search algorithm. If you believe something went wrong with your subscription or access, please share your order reference and payment email so we can review your case in detail. Our team is always willing to assist and clarify any misunderstandings.

PimEyes searches only publicly available images on the open web, and not private databases or social media platforms — this means that search results depend on what is actually visible online at the time of your search. The higher-tier plans, such as Advanced, do not change the quality of search algorithms but provide broader functionality and increased limits. If you believe there’s been an error or would like us to review your case, please share your order reference number and the email used for payment, and we’ll gladly investigate further.
