Reverse image search: find the video a picture came from
Drop a screenshot, a still or a photo. It is compared with 1M frames from 160K videos, mostly from adult tube sites, and a verified match gives you the video's title, site and link.
- Your file never leaves your device
- Every match is verified, with its proof
- Only fingerprints are sent, and never stored
Same picture, proven
A match is checked, not guessed.
A neural fingerprint finds the indexed frames that look closest to your picture. Then each one is checked point by point: the corners and textures of both pictures must line up under one consistent transform. Only then is it a Match, scored from 0 to 100.
That is why a crop, a resize, recompression or a small watermark does not stop it, and why a lookalike (the same room, the same pose) is shown as Similar, never as the answer.
A different kind of index
When to use this, and when not to.
Video frames, not web pages
General engines index the pictures on web pages. This index holds the preview frames video sites publish, so a screenshot leads back to its video.
Nothing filtered out
With SafeSearch on, Google hides explicit results. This index is built mostly from adult tube sites, so those are exactly what it can find.
Use another tool for
Products, places, artworks or photos from the open web: Google Lens or TinEye will serve you better. This search does not identify people.
FAQ
Questions
How is this different from a Google reverse image search?
Google and TinEye index pictures on web pages, and with SafeSearch on Google hides explicit results. This index holds the preview frames that video sites publish for each video, so a screenshot can lead back to the video it was taken from, adult videos included.
Does a cropped or edited picture still match?
Usually. The check compares local keypoints, which survive crops, resizing, recompression and small watermarks, and a mirrored copy is tried when nothing matches. A heavy zoom on a small part of the frame is harder.
Can it find a person by their face?
No. It finds the same picture, not the same person: a different video of the same performer is at most a Similar result. Face search is planned, and only for finding yourself.
What happens to my picture?
It stays on your device. Your browser computes its fingerprint (512 numbers) and sends only that, so the picture and its metadata (location, camera, date) never leave your device, and nothing is stored. A format your browser cannot open (HEIC on some systems) cannot be searched: save it as JPEG or take a screenshot of it.
