TinEye

TinEye is a reverse image search engine that allows users to identify where an image appears online, track its usage, and find higher-resolution or modified versions. By uploading an image or providing an image URL, TinEye analyzes the visual content and compares it against a large, continuously updated index of images from across the web. It does not rely on metadata or keywords; instead, it uses image recognition technology to match exact and altered versions, including cropped, resized, or color-adjusted images.

Key capabilities include identifying the original source of an image, locating web pages that use a specific image, and detecting unauthorized or uncredited use. TinEye is widely used by photographers, designers, brands, and publishers to monitor image licensing compliance, investigate potential copyright infringement, and verify image authenticity. It is also valuable for journalists, researchers, and fact-checkers who need to validate visual content and trace its context.
