Remove photos from PimEyes
How to remove photos from PimEyes and reduce the chance the same headshot shows up again
If you found your face in PimEyes, the immediate job is removal. The follow-up job is preventing the same clean image from staying public and feeding future matches.
Removal is the urgent step when you already have a live result.
If the same public headshot stays online, similar results can come back later.
The durable fix is usually removal plus replacing and protecting the source image you still control.
What CloakBioGuard actually helps with
Guide
Removal plus prevention
Locate the source page behind the result
Figure out whether the image comes from LinkedIn, a company bio, an old press page, or another public site you can still edit.
Request removal where possible
Follow the current removal path for the service and keep notes on what you submitted and when.
Swap the public source image
If the old clean headshot stays live, removal becomes a loop. Replace it with a protected version on the sites you control.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is removing the result enough?
Not usually. If the original image is still public in the same form, other indexes or later crawls can recreate the problem.
What if I cannot control the page where the image appears?
You may need to combine a removal request, direct outreach to the site owner, and changes to any other public copies you do control.
Why scan the source image after I already found a result?
Because the next decision is whether that same image is still too exposed to keep using. The scan helps you decide whether it should be replaced or protected.
