If you have ever faced the situation when you have an awesome pic of someone or someplace or somebody and you really want to read more about it but you can't as don't know what exactly is it's name. So, I have a solution for you.
The solution is Reverse Image Search Engine.
What is Reverse Image Search Engine ?
It is a kind of search Engine where you have to put an image instead of a keyword as an input and it will give you similar matching images with link of image source.
Two best Image Search Engine available on internet:
1. TinEye :
TinEye is a reverse image search engine developed and offered by Idée, Inc., a company based in Toronto, Canada, which was founded by Leila Boujnane and Paul Bloore in 1999 The use of the Web application is free of charge for customers.
While computer vision and image identification research projects began as early as the 1980s, the company claims that TinEye is the first web-based image search engine to use image identification technology.
How to Use TinEye ?
2. If you have image file downloaded on your PC then click on 'Choose File' and browse for the picture file on computer.
3. It will automatically search in the database and give you the matching results.
4. Similarly, If you have link of image instead of the file then just copy and paste the link in URL box
Some extra features :
Tineye also allows you to install Tineye Plugin in your browser(Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer).
2. Google Images :
Everyone is familiar with Google Images. The most comprehensive image search on the web. But very few knows about the Search Using Image feature.
To use it :
1. Go to images.google.com.
2. Then Click on Camera Icon. It will allow you to search by image Now, either paste
image URL or Upload an Image.
3. Everything else is similar to that of Tineye.
Tineye vs. Google Images. Who is the Winner?
Well, both search engines will give you almost similar results is most cases. Google has a much larger index database than tineye.
But tineye is more convenient to use. For example: You see a photo on private Facebook photo that looks fake. Use the Tineye extension for any web browser to search the photo just by right clicking on it. No need to open particular website and then copy paste the link or upload any file.
Thanks for Reading. :)
