Pixalytica
Pixalytica combines facial recognition with public web information to generate identity and risk reports. The publisher describes a web interface and REST API for businesses considering onboarding or screening workflows. Reports may include image matches, source URLs, and information associated with a matched person.
Start with an authorized photo search
The documented workflow begins with an uploaded photo or an API request containing an image. Pixalytica searches for matching faces online, gathers information from the websites where matches appear, and returns a report. The publisher lists politically exposed person status, sanctions, known associations, and suspected criminal activity among potential report fields.
Pixalytica requires consent or another legal basis to use the service. Its FAQ describes uploading an image of a consenting person. Establish the basis for a search before submitting a photo, and distinguish information found on a website from a confirmed identity or finding about that person.
Inspect the sources behind the report
The site lists image sources and similarity scores as report contents. Those fields provide material for a human review of whether the face and the associated information belong to the intended person. Review the linked sources before acting on a risk label or an allegation.
Pixalytica advertises numerical accuracy and speed figures, but the captured pages do not provide the validation method, error rates across populations, or an independent assessment. They also do not establish that a generated report replaces the checks required for a particular regulated workflow. Evaluate sample reports against your own requirements before integrating the service into decisions affecting a person.
Assess API access and data handling
The publisher describes REST API integration for identity risk scoring and facial analysis in dashboards, onboarding systems, and internal portals. It offers a demo report through a contact form and directs businesses to request custom solutions. The captured pages do not list a public per-report price or subscription amount.
The about page identifies Pixalytica GmbH in Lausanne, Switzerland, and says uploaded photos are processed for report generation and removed afterward. The homepage also advertises in-memory processing, encrypted transmission, and EU hosting. Treat these as publisher statements and inspect the contractual processing and retention terms for your intended deployment. The captured material does not include an independent security or compliance audit.
