EyeEm closed in January 2026. An old EyeEm link now needs a historical-link check rather than a live profile review. A redirect alone does not show that a photographer’s work was migrated.

See the official EyeEm closure and migration FAQ.

Compare old image references with current work

  • Keep the original EyeEm profile and image URLs, even when they no longer open the same page.
  • Record the current destination separately from the old link.
  • Compare captions, credits and available dates with the photographer’s established portfolio.
  • Check a claimed new portfolio through links the photographer publishes, rather than assuming an EyeEm redirect confirms the connection.
  • Confirm licensing, payment or rights-transfer requests through the photographer’s existing contact.

What to include in a report

Keep the old URL, the currently disputed page and the photographer’s original references together. Include dated screenshots of copied images, altered credits or conflicting contact details. Note which older material you could still inspect and which references were unavailable.

Report the disputed content to the platform where it is currently hosted. A copied image or incorrect credit needs a specific page reference, rather than a request to investigate a former EyeEm handle.

Prepare an impersonation report with the affected images, links and claims.
