Reverse image search
The tools that we'll use in this guide are called CBIR engines. To use them we will give them a low quality image as an input, and they will return us a list of similar images found on the Internet with a variety of resolutions.
Dupli Checker
The first and easiest engine that we will use is Dupli Checker. This online free tool searches your image in 6 diferent CBIR engines and redirects you to the results page of each engine.
To use the tool (sketch):
- Navigate to: https://www.duplichecker.com/reverse-image-search.php
- Upload / paste the image url on the tool and click on "Search Similar Image".
- Click on "Show Results" and and click on each engine that you want to use, in this case [...], note that the last two tools are currently not working (just on Dupli Checker).
- In this case I'll click on Google Lens. A new tab will open up with similar results. Note that to find the exact or a really similar image we'll have to click on "Search the image source" (only with Google Lens).
- On the images list I'll check if a higher resolution is avaliable. I'll save the sources of the ones that I'm interested in and I'll move to the next engine from Dupli Checker to see if I find anything better.
This is the easiest, fastest and most automatic way to reverse image search. If this doesn't work for your image, we'll go more in deep in the following section.
