Reverse Photos

What Reverse Photos is

Reverse Photos searches the web for images that look similar to a photo you take or upload. The web service uses Google Cloud Vision to analyze and classify images, with examples including products, plants, landmarks, product logos, animals, locations, and celebrities. You can provide a file from a desktop, phone gallery, iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive, or take a new photo with a phone camera. Sample images are available for trying searches, and the site says those results are cached for improved performance. The FAQ names journalists and fact-checking websites verifying image sources, as well as content creators checking whether their images appear elsewhere without permission, as potential users. A Google account is needed to sign in; sign-up provides free search credits, after which users choose a subscription plan. The maker says searches are charged because Google Cloud Vision is a paid service, but no plan prices could be verified. It says uploads go to Cloud Vision through Google Cloud, are stored there only while a subscription is active, and can be deleted at any time. The maker also says uploads are not sold, shared, or used for other purposes.
