![]() ![]() Do note that TinEye is free for non-commercial use and the paid version allows API usage. There is also a useful comparison feature where you can easily check the difference between your image and the found image match with a single click. A nice feature found in TinEye is the ability to sort the results based on best matched, most changed, biggest image, newest and oldest. If you find yourself using TinEye quite frequently, you can install the TinEye browser plugin that is available for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer and Opera to simplify the image search process. You can search for an image by uploading from your computer or by pasting a URL of an image or even a webpage where it will automatically show all the images from the page. TinEye is the first web based image reverse search engine that probably started around 2008 and they’ve indexed nearly 8 billion images so far. Click on the camera icon located at the far right of the search bar and you’ll get to either upload the image or search through a URL. ![]() ![]() Performing a reverse image search in Yandex is quite similar to Google Image Search. If an image is not found, then Yandex will attempt to show any similar images. Unlike Google Image Search that has a smart algorithm that tries to guess the person on the image, Yandex only shows where the image is being used and also a list of different sizes. Yandex is the most popular search engine in Russia and similar to Google, they too have an image search feature. As an additional tip, Google Chrome web browser allows you to conveniently search for an image on a website by right clicking on the image and select “Search Google for this image”. Not only can Google Image Search tell you which websites are hotlinking the searched image, at the bottom of the search results also shows images that are visually similar. All you need to do is visit Google Images on your web browser, click on the camera icon (hovering the icon with your mouse cursor will show a label “Search by image”) and you’re given the option to paste the full URL of an image that you want to search or upload from your computer. Not only is Google the leading search engine for text queries, their reverse image search is in fact one of the best as well. ![]()
