Search by Image is an open-source browser extension for reverse image search, supporting Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari and Samsung Internet. It lets users search with images from web pages or their device using more than 30 search engines such as Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu and TinEye.
Use cases
- reverse image search from the browser context menu
- verify the authenticity of images as a journalist or researcher
- find where your photos or artwork are shared online
- find similar products at lower prices while shopping
- identify false information on social media
- search with images from private sites or local files
When to choose
- you need one-click reverse image searches across many search engines
- you want an open-source, privacy-respecting image search tool
- you use Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera or Samsung Internet
When to avoid
- you need programmatic or API-based image search in an application
- you need image recognition or analysis rather than search engine lookups
