Singapore-based EyeMatch AI Pte. Ltd. has launched Eyematch.ai, a facial recognition search platform that allows users to find where a person’s face appears across publicly available web images.
The platform uses AI to analyze facial features rather than matching exact pixel copies, enabling it to surface results from photos taken at different angles, in different lighting conditions, or after editing. Results link back to their source pages, giving users direct access to the context in which images appear.
Aneta Grochowska, Director of Eyematch.ai, said traditional image search tools fall short because they rely on exact image duplication. “With Eyematch.ai, the focus is on analyzing facial features so users can find where a person appears even when photos vary in angle, lighting, or context,” she said.
The platform targets individuals, content creators, journalists, investigators, and businesses seeking to monitor how images of a person circulate online. Use cases include privacy monitoring, reputation management, and online investigation. Searches require a clear uploaded image; results are returned within seconds, with subscription tiers available for expanded usage. EyeMatch AI Pte. Ltd. had previously partnered with Lenso.ai, a reverse image search service, prior to today’s standalone platform launch.
Eyematch.ai scans only publicly accessible content and offers opt-out options for individuals who do not want their faces indexed. The company positions the product around transparency and ethical deployment, noting it does not make automated identity statements about individuals found in results.
Consumer-facing facial recognition search tools occupy contested regulatory ground. Services that index publicly available images can fall outside the scope of regulations that govern law enforcement or commercial biometric databases, but they raise data protection questions in jurisdictions with broad biometric privacy laws, including several US states and the EU under GDPR. Eyematch.ai enters a market that includes established players such as PimEyes, which faced enforcement action in Poland and operates under an explicit personal use restriction, and Clearview AI, which has faced regulatory action in multiple countries for its law enforcement-focused database. The company has not disclosed which data protection frameworks govern its operations or how opt-out requests are processed and verified. The platform is available globally.
