Overview
TinEye is a dedicated reverse image search engine. It is particularly good at finding exact and modified copies of an image and sorting results by oldest, which helps establish provenance.
Features
- Reverse image search by upload or URL
- Sort matches by oldest / newest
- Browser extension and commercial API
Typical election use cases
- Finding the earliest appearance of a photo
- Detecting recycled or miscaptioned images
- Tracing how an image spread
Limitations
No single engine indexes the whole web. Use TinEye alongside other reverse image search tools for coverage.
