TinEye is an image search engine on the web to use image identification technology. The plugin adds a right-click menu item that allows you to search for an image to find out where it came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or to find higher resolution versions.
TinEye attempts to find images similar to the one you uploaded or linked, cropped images and even photoshopped images of the original. TinEye is indexing millions of images and smartly matches the fingerprint of your original photo to the images in their database. You can integrate it in your browsing habits using Firefox too.
TinEye works differently than any other image search engine. It doesn’t ask you for words or even a description. Instead, you upload an image and it returns results similar to that picture. It is fast, easy to use and, most importantly, effective.[advt]
The technology has existed in various forms, there has never been a search engine available to the public that could take an image and look for other ones like it. That is, until TinEye.
