Finding the same image on another website with different filenames can be very usefull to identify a person. Let’s assume again we did not have any clue who this is. Ofcourse we all know that it is David “the Hoff” Hasselhoff, but you can see it finds a lot of website which have this specific image, even though the filenames are different on each page. It analyses the photo, runs a reverse image search and this is what it found. A nice feature is that it does not store the image itself. Let’s check TinEye and see if we can find any clues about this person. Let’s say I have a profile picture of someone, but no clue who it is (everyone who knows the answer by seeing the photo: congratulations, you are officially old). Finding the name of a person with a photo An easy way to help you during your reconnaissance. Or take a photo of a location or company to see if you can pinpoint it to a known location. You upload the photo and check if there are more accounts with the same person on the profile picture. Practical examples of TinEyeĪ good usecase for TinEye is when you want to check if someone is real or note, based on their profile picture. When your image is found, it will let you know where it was seen. It takes the photo you provide, analyse it and search in it massive database for hits. It has crawled over 49 million images and more are added every day. You can upload, paste or link a photo on the website and TinEye will search the internet for that photo. They are very good in image analysis, thats for sure.įor now I will focus on the TinEye Reverse Image Search. The reverse image search is a great way for companies to find unauthorized use of their photos, and it even goes as far as searching for modified versions of a photo, or search based on color set.
TinEye provides a few different services based on image recognition and analysis. Let’s check how we can benefit from this OSINT tool. It can also notify you when a specific photo in your library suddenly appears somewhere else.
It is a great tool for anyone who has an image and want to know where that image appears online for example in a search for stolen photos. “Search by image and find where that image appears online”, that is the slogan of TinEye.
