Find Your Stolen Photos Online

The first step is to find the copyrighted content being shared. The best way to do it is by using Reverse Image Search.

Reverse Image Search - The Basics

Reverse image search is a technology that finds similar or identical images online. You can upload any reference image from your camera roll, and reverse image search will find all copies of the photo that were shared online.

How to Reverse Image Search?

  1. Open any reverse image search engine and upload your photo.
  2. Wait for the search to be made. It usually takes just a few seconds. The system recognizes the elements of the photograph and searches for similar images in its index.
  3. Check the results. Most image engines let you explore the results by clicking on them and redirect you to websites where the images were posted.
