If you Google the title of this thread, you will find a site that lets you upload an image or post the URL of an image, and a program will then do a search to find other images that match yours.

It does not always work. It relies on finding a match with images that it has already put in its database at some stage, and the database appears fairly limited. It's not a face recognition program; it works by examining pixel patterns rather than by trying to "understand" what's in the image, so it works best if there are distinctive features in the photo rather than just faces or dicks. I did on one occasion succeed in finding a couple of matches with an image that someone on another site had posted of a crotch in underpants, more or less proving that the image was not a photo of himself as claimed.

The match does not have to be exact. In the case mentioned above, two of the images were slightly cropped versions of the one that appeared to be the original.

Perhaps the Admins could consider making this post sticky if you think it might be helpful.

For example, a search for occurrences of the "Ruler of Heaven" status icon reveals a couple of instances where someone on another site is using it, or has been using it, as their avatar. The "Legend" icon is extremely popular, Tin Eye found 56 matches, located all over the Net.

Wow this is fab! I've installed the Firefox add-on too.

Quite fun actually! You'll be happy to know nobody else has your personal icon - or mine :p

I've had TinEye bookmarked for ages.. it's a very useful site, particularly when I've found a pic but need a copy with a larger/better resolution.

Hmmm, so with this tineye app, I can possibly verify if the images guys post up on Craigslist are actually of themselves or of some cropped naked guy they picked off the 'net? This may save me from hooking up with some lying troll.

I just have tried this twice and unfortunately, it says "no results".

That could mean one of two things: either there really is no duplicate out there, or there is but it's not been added to their database yet. I have no idea by what process they add images to their database, but I imagine it's still pretty limited.

Unfortunately, TinEye can prove there IS a copy of an image out there, but it can't prove there ISN'T. That is, it can prove guilt but not prove innocence.

I just want to add Yandex to the list. google image search has been pretty bad lately, probably cuz they introduced so much AI and prediction algorithms or whatever.

Thanks for the info - I just tested Yandex and the others with a pic of a specific model - L3o Rain:

Tineye found nothing and gave no "similar images"

Google did not find it but offered "similar images" - but none of them were of L3o

Yamdex did not find it either but did offer 16 other pics of Leo as well as the "similar images"

I have been using Yandex for quite some time now and find it to be superior to Google, TinEye and Bing.

Yandex is more consistent than TinEye in my opinion, but TinEye is typically better at finding images on sites that are no longer online, in which case you can use the Wayback Machine to retrieve dead website pages.

Of course PimEyes trumps them all, but the free version doesn't give you full image addresses, which makes tracking down the origin of most photos extremely difficult.

To me, the best 2 image searches are: pimeyes and facecheck.id

I got the best results using both. Highly recommended!
