Privacy Policy

PFPViewer (pfpviewer.com) is a free Instagram profile picture viewer. This policy explains what we collect and what we do not.

No account required

You do not need to create an account, sign in, or connect Instagram to use this site. We do not offer user profiles, saved lists, or social login.

No personal data stored

We do not store the usernames you search as a personal record, and we do not keep copies of profile pictures on our servers after a lookup finishes. Lookups may sit in a short-lived memory cache on the server so the same public profile is not fetched again within a few minutes. That cache is not a user database and is not tied to your name or email.

Requests are proxied through our server only

When you view a profile picture, your browser talks to PFPViewer. Our server then requests public profile information from Instagram. We do this so the tool can work without an Instagram login in your browser. Instagram may see the request coming from our servers, not as a login from your account.

Technical data

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) may log standard request metadata such as IP address, user agent, and the page requested. We use this only to operate the site, debug errors, and reduce abuse. We do not sell this information.

Cookies and ads

This site does not set an account cookie. If we later show advertising (for example Google AdSense), that provider may set its own cookies subject to their policies. You can control cookies in your browser.
