Provide your own image and it will check against its 72+ billion images database to find if it exists already, where, and maybe a higher resolution or a crop or modified version: TinEye is a reverse image search engine and image recognition platform that utilizes proprietary computer vision and digital fingerprinting technology to identify the origin and usage of visual content. Unlike traditional search engines that rely on metadata or keywords, TinEye analyzes pixel-level data to find exact matches, including those that have been cropped, resized, or digitally altered. The service provides a suite of tools including an API for automated image tracking, a multicolor engine for color-based retrieval, and specialized algorithms for monitoring image compliance across a multi-billion-image database.
Complementary to Google’s reverse search which does not keep history of deleted images nor dates.
