Actually, that's a great idea. People tend to crop and reverse images all the time.

I've put in a request for another thread title which better reflects what we're trying to do here.

How To Do A Reverse Image Search

This seems to make it more obvious before you click on the thread. If you need to learn how to find images this is the thread for you.

To celebrate 200 posts in this thread I think it's time to do a summary of everything we've learned. I'll do several summary posts so stay tuned. If you're brand new to this thread you can either keep checking back for the summary or go to the first post in this thread and start there.


Tineye

This is a great little search engine. When you want to search an image you go to Tineye (dot) com and you'll see a search bar with an up arrow before it. Click on the up arrow to browse for your image. It does a pretty good job of finding images and sometimes it will come up with a result that other search engines don't find. If you don't get a good result then go to the next search engine and try it again.

Google Image Search

When you go to Google to do a reverse image search you need to click on 'image' first and then you'll be presented with an image search window. Google used to be a lot better, but it still has a pretty good track record of finding images.

When you click on 'images' you'll notice a little camera icon. Push it and then you have the option to paste a url of an image (I find this not too good a method most of the time.) or click on 'upload and image' and you browse to find the image you want to search.

You should have a set of similar pics first and then the results below that. The results often times have multiple pages so if you really really want more of an image then check the other pages too. The similar pics can also be helpful. If you see your image in those pics click on it and you might get lucky. Click on the image and it will show where it is located and it's possible you might find a collection of the same girl.

Yandex

The third and in my opinion the best reverse image search engine today. Go to Yandex and you'll see a list above the text box and the first one is conveniently 'images'. Click on 'images' and the page will change to the image search page which has the camera icon in the search bar. Click on the camera icon and select browse to find the pic you want to search.

Don't forget to check the group of images above your search results. Sometimes you can find good stuff there.

The Best Reverse Search Engines

https://yandex.com/

https://www.google.com/

https://tineye.com/

Depending on which browser you use there are some nice extensions that will make searching easier.

Firefox: Search By Image

Chrome: RevEye

Google: Google Reverse Image Search


There are more reverse search add-ons for these browsers and other browsers as well. The neat feature of these add-ons is that you can select to search using all the main search engines with just one click. You can set the options to add other search engines like Bing.

Imgops is another multiple search tool that will not only search multiple reverse image search engines, but it does a lot of other things like looking up the hidden exif info of each photo.

Here are some great suggestions from our members that you might find useful.

In addition to Google image searches, both Bing.com and Yandex.com do a pretty good job on reverse image searches. On Bing images, you need to make sure that "SafeSearch" setting is turned off. Both Bing and Yandex allow you to search by uploading an image from your hard drive or by using an image address from the web. Once you understand how to do a Google image search, it is not difficult to do the same on the other search sites.

First, thanks for the post, it is a good idea for people to learn to do deep searches. It was mentioned early but one major search engine that should be in your list is https://www.bing.com/images/. When you have SAFE SEARCH turned off, it tends to provide better results than Google because Google is trying to cut down on porn searches (not much money in it for them I guess). And just like Google, you can upload a pic or you can put in a link from the web.
Another website that claims to specialize in reverse image searches is https://deepmindy.com/ but I haven't ever got past "please wait". Interestingly, Deep Mindy is used on Imagefap on 1000s of pictures.
One method that has worked extremely well for me is to search for a picture on Google image search. On the results page it will say "Find other sizes of this image" if there are any (this it at the top near the image you are searching). Of course you can go through all the hits that show up but I take a quick look at the other sizes and see if any of them are on imagefap. If so, I follow that and see if the pic on imagefap has been searched by Deep Mindy. By this method, I have many times found full galleries of a chick that I thought existed in only a single pic on the web.

Another thing to remember with Yandex (if you really, really want more pics), is to "search similar images" even if there is no 'target' image showing in the little gaggle of examples. Randomly click on one and a big window displays miles and miles of images. The point of this is that, on rare occasions, a different image of the target model can be hiding a few scrollings down. I have experienced success doing this—admittedly there was an initial "similar image" at the top; but I was pleasantly surprised by two additional unrelated images of the same model hiding further down, out of sight. And these, of course, led to some more.

Also, on rare occasions, flipping (mirror-image) the image can turn up additional results. The search engines are supposed to do this automatically but I've kicked some goals doing it beforehand.

One final trick (once you know the model's screen name) is to just web-search her name. Add the word "milf" or "mom" or "nude"; or if she's young, perhaps "teen". You could also try the usual derogatory terms not tolerated with the threads in OCC.
