Automatically search TinEye’s extensive index—perfect for large-scale reverse image searches, image and profile verification, stock image identification, fraud detection and image compliance.

When you use TinEye, your image is never saved or indexed, ensuring your searches remain completely private. TinEye adds millions of new images from publicly available sources every day, crawling only web content and never your search images.

TinEye is a reverse image search engine developed and offered by Idée, Inc., a company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was the first image search engine on the web to use image identification technology rather than keywords, metadata or watermarks.

An image that returns zero results on Google may appear on TinEye or Yandex. TinEye is particularly useful for finding the oldest copy of an image online, while Yandex often surfaces results from social media platforms and regions that Google indexes less thoroughly.

TinEye was revolutionary, but it has limitations. Discover better alternatives for reverse image search that offer more features, larger databases, and improved accuracy.

TinEye is the original reverse image search engine, using image recognition to match against a growing index of billions of images. You can use TinEye to trace an image’s origin, verify its authenticity, see how it’s being used, find modified versions, or locate a higher-resolution copy.

The TinEye API automates searching for images in the TinEye index. Find where an image came from and how it is being used even when it has been significantly modified.
