Wondering if someone without your permission has used your picture on the Internet? Tineye allows you to do a reverse search on your picture: “TinEye is a reverse image search engine. It finds out where an image came from, how it is being used, if modified versions of the image exist, or if there is a higher resolution version.”
I tried a few of my own photographs and got zero results, the results indicated that TinEye had searched over 10.869 billion images. TinEye indicates they are “crawling the web and updating their image database regularly”. As of March 30th TinEye has added “over 72 million new images, brining the TinEye image database count to 10,678,649,077.” It appears they do a search approximately 3-5 times a month. So, how does it work? According to TinEye’s FAQ section on their website. When you upload your picture it creates a “compact digital signature” a “fingerprint” of sorts and compares that to other images on the Internet. Worth a try if you are worried that people are using your photos. TinEye website
