In this field.
We're going to be talking about reverse image searching.
Now, reverse image searching is simply we take an image and we're doing a search against that image.
And there's a lot of different tools out there for this.
Things like Google images, Bing images, Yandex and Pimeyes are some of the more popular ones for doing
reverse image searches, and there are several other ones out there.
But these are some of the bigger players for.
Now essentially what we do is if we find image, it could be a safe office, it could be a person,
it could be a group of people, a building, a car, whatnot.
We could feed this into these different browsers or search engines and we could try to see if it comes
back with a match on the Internet.
Now, your your results are going to vary between these different services.
For example, I tend to have better luck with, say, locations on Google.
Yandex does really good with people.
Same with Pimeyes.
Pimeyes actually apparently uses some sort of facial recognition software for their searches and Bing.
Generally, I don't find a lot of stuff on Bing that the other ones didn't find.
However, I do find it useful for using multiple tools for the same search because they may come back
with different results.
So let's take a look at how this works.
So for Google, if you go to Google.com for ID slash images, it'll take you here.
Or if we just go straight to Google.com, we could do again forward slash
images.
It'll take us here and we can click on the camera here.
We can do search by image.
Now, either you can paste the URL in or you could upload an image.
Let's upload an image here and let's choose a file.
And let's say I want to see where else this particular image showed up.
So if I fade into Google, it'll come back here and we can see this is the original image I uploaded.
This gives you the image size and then we can see similar images of that.
So in here we see the same window here, and you may or may not get the same results depending on what
it is this is actually.
Well, obviously, it's a pretty popular movie.
So there's a lot of these images out there.
You may get similar images to the one you're looking for, but in this case, I got an exact match.
We can see the image here and we can see the different websites here.
They all take me to find that image.
Now, same thing with Bing.
If you go to Bing for search images, it'll take you here and you can click on this little square here
to upload an image.
Again, you could you could take a photo pacer URL or or upload image here.
So the same thing with Yandex, we can go to Yandex, come forward, slash images.
Now the thing with Yandex is Yandex is a Russian company.
So depending on your depending on the organization you're working for, you may or may not be able to
use this.
And finally, if we go to Pimeyes, we can go to Pimeyes dot com and it'll take us here and we can upload
a facial image.
Now this one, you generally there is a pricing for this week.
We could do a simple one here.
I can click on the camera here.
We need to I'm going to block that.
That's actually if you if you want to take a photo, you can actually click this upload of photo here
and let's put our test image in here.
We'll upload that.
And kind of funny.
This says no photos.
Photos found.
So let's try that one more time.
Let's double check those results here.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
Actually doesn't find anything on pimeyes even though it is a fate searching engine.
So that's interesting.
So again, this is why I use multiple, multiple tools for the same thing.
Again, if, say, I just use Pimeyes, I came back with that result, you might think, well, it's
obviously not there because Pimeyes can find it.
Well, you know, obviously Google did find it.
So that's why you want to use the same tools for multiple or same type of tools for multiple images
and also for other things like other searches and whatnot.
But again, you could use this for people.
We could we can clear this out here.
We could try to use this for we could also use this for places.
Let's do Google dot com for slash images again.
We'll take us here and let's load a non person in here.
Let's upload an image, let's upload this bridge here and see what comes back and we can see this is
it comes back with a bunch of hits where the same type of image.
So again objects, places, people reverse imaging is fantastic and your chances are you are going to
do some sort of reverse image searches as you start going through people's social media pages, photos
and whatnot.
Thank you for watching.
I'll see you next video.
