What is TinEye?

TinEye is a reverse image search engine: upload a picture or paste its link and it finds where that image, including edited or cropped copies, appears on the web. Searches are free for non-commercial use, results can be sorted by date or size, and paid plans and an API cover commercial use.

Pros: what TinEye does well

  • Finds edited and cropped copies
  • Sort results by date or size
  • No account needed

Cons: where it falls short

  • Free use is for non-commercial searches
  • Smaller index than the biggest search engines

Who TinEye is for

Writers, creators and researchers who want to trace or verify an image.

Who can skip it

People who rarely work with images found online.
