TinEye: Reverse Image Search

TinEye represents a very interesting web app which allows us to use reverse image search in the web: Upload the image and TinyEye searches around the web to find the same image source, modified versions or finding higher resolutions.

I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing similar in the web right now, and can help a lot of webmasters and bloggers to find if some images they’ve uploaded are being re-used by other people. Most certainly web and graphic designers can use it to protect their work.

TinEye has indexed almost 2 billion images from which they run the comparison every time we upload an image (this web app also can use the URL of the image as well).

TinEye is also available as a browser extension for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

      This is a really cool site. As a photographer, this tool could really help find cases where people have stolen images from me. That can be hard to do sometimes. Thanks for sharing.
