What is Reverse Image Search?

video start button

Ever wonder if the person you've connected with through an app or online is, like, real? Ever what happened to an old flame or friend? Wouldn't it be great if you could see if anyone was using your photograph, images or artwork without your permission?

With all the scams and phishing schemes these days, you can never be too careful. Most people think that doing a simple Google Image search is enough. Sadly, that is no longer the case. Scammers know how people think, and they know how to manipulate Google's Algorithm to their benefit.

Our reverse image search uses advanced image metadata and proprietary technology that allows us to scan millions of social profiles in seconds.

This includes:

  • The biggest social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
  • The top online dating sites and apps like Match, Plenty of Fish and Tinder
  • The largest forums networking sites like Reddit, LinkedIn and more
  • And yes, even Google Images!

The end result: you get the most accurate, publicly available results all in one place.

Use our Image Search to:

  • Verify someone you've met online is actually real
  • Find out if someone is using your pictures without attribution or paying you. Perfect if you're a photographer or model
  • Discover whether your original artwork is being shared online
  • Track down an old friend or an old flame

To start using the Image Search feature, all you need to do is load the image you want information on into the search bar above and hit "Search." Within minutes you'll have everything you need.

    Your search is completely private. The person you’re searching will not be notified, and your uploaded images are not shared or made public.
