What this tool does

Paste the address of an image and get ready-made reverse image search links for Google Lens, Bing Visual Search, TinEye, Yandex Images and Baidu. Click an engine to see where else the picture appears online, who published it first, and whether larger or edited versions exist.

How to use it

  1. Right-click the image on any page and choose Copy image address.
  2. Paste it into Image URL.
  3. Open the engine that suits your goal — TinEye for finding the original source, Google Lens for similar images and products, Yandex for faces and landmarks.

Why use several engines?

Each engine indexes a different part of the web. A photo that returns nothing on Google can still turn up on Yandex or TinEye, so checking more than one gives a far better chance of finding the source.

Is my image private?

Links are built in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to iotools.cloud — the image address is only sent to the search engine you choose to open. The image must be publicly reachable for the engine to fetch it.
