What Search by Image is
Search by Image is a free web service and browser extension for finding products from pictures or image links. It uses artificial intelligence and visual product recognition to look for similar images across supported marketplaces, including AliExpress, Alibaba, Amazon, and eBay. You can upload a photo from a computer or mobile device, or paste an image URL. Extensions are listed for Chrome, Edge, Opera, Firefox, Whale, and Yandex. In a browser, you can right-click an image and choose “Find product by image,” or enter an image URL in the extension popup. The site also describes finding products shown in YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram videos by taking and uploading a screenshot. It says shoppers can compare prices across marketplaces and online stores. The website and browser extensions are free of charge. Search results may be limited by low-quality images or pictures containing too many objects; the FAQ suggests cropping or trying a different image. Product pictures may also fail to display if an image server is overloaded, the image is temporarily unavailable, or a store has updated it.
