TinEye – Reverse image lookup…

07. Mar, 2010 1 Comment

TinEye is a reverse image search engine.

You can submit an image to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions.

TinEye is the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks.

For some real TinEye search examples, check out their Cool Searches page.

There are many uses for TinEye, but here are a few:

  • Find out where an image came from, or get more information about it
  • Research or track the appearance of an image online
  • Find higher resolution versions of an image
  • Locate web pages that make use of an image you have created
  • Discover modified or edited versions of an image

TinEye was created by Idée Inc. Idée develops advanced image identification and visual search software for photo wire agencies, stock photography firms, entertainment media companies and some of the world’s leading imaging firms including Adobe Systems Inc.
