Reverse Image Search: TinEye & More Options (1 Viewer)

[Laron]

Update: Here is an article all about reverse image search which I just wrote and posted on transients.info: https://www.transients.info/2016/10/reverse-image-search-websites-copyright-online/

I use this site a lot, http://www.tineye.com/, as it helps me find the owner of an image so I can see if I can use it in articles I write on transients.info and other places. It searches the internet and tries to match the image you specify. It then sorts the results by date if you chose that filter.

​

This is just helpful to see what licence is sitting on the image I may find, which hopefully would be a creative commons or public domain result. It is not normal to not be able to find the owner/original spot it was posted based on the results.

In regards to reverse image searching, I just wrote this article covering a number of other options to Tineye: https://www.transients.info/2016/10/reverse-image-search-websites-copyright-online/

I just wanted to remind everyone about this site above, but also all the other options you have—linked to in my article—for looking up the source of an image.
