TinEye Reverse Image Search is a free extension for the Google Chrome browser and Chromebook. Designed to help users reverse search photos and images, TinEye Reverse Image Search can aid in finding sources and photographer names and higher-resolution versions of a particular image. Like Google’s own image search, it is free and effective and gives users more options when saving photos online. Like a traditional search engine, it pulls thousands of results from the internet for you to access and examine.

Find the source of your photo

When searching for images online, it can be hard to find a higher resolution version of a small picture or image. Likewise, it can often be difficult to identify photo sources, photographers or context, even when you have the photo saved to your hard drive. With TinEye Reverse Image Search, these problems are solved. Reverse image search means that instead of text, users search with photos. By either uploading and image or searching based on its URL, users can find similar photographs from around the internet. This gives users a better opportunity to find sources or higher-quality versions of the same image.

Two ways to search

If you already have the image saved on your computer, TinEye Reverse Image Search makes it easy to upload it and search. If the photo is from a website, users can also copy and paste the image URL into the search box. From here, users are provided with different sources from around the web in different resolutions.
