What is AI image search?

AI image search is a type of reverse image search that uses artificial intelligence to find better results than traditional image search.

How to image search using AI?

To reverse image search with AI, use an AI image search engine.

Here’s a list of the top 3 AI image search engines:

Lenso.ai

Lenso.ai is an image search engine that finds images of people, places, copied and duplicated images, and similar photos. Thanks to the AI technology used, it can match the faces of people and photos of places based on the picture alone.

It also allows sorting pictures, filtering, setting up alerts, and much more. Visit lenso.ai and try it for free!

Copyseeker.net

Copyseeker is a great AI-powered tool for finding copies of images and duplicate versions. It searches on social media as well, and although it’s full of Google Ads, the service is 100% free.

Lexica.art - Search for AI-generated images

Lexica.art has a different take on AI image search. This tool finds AI-generated photos based on the image uploaded by the user. If you want to find an AI-generated version of a photo, or the same AI image from somewhere else, try it!

Basics of Reverse Image Search

You can watch this short video that explains reverse image search in detail:

What can AI image search be used for?

  • Finding similar or duplicate images
  • Identifying objects, products, or landmarks
  • Verifying authenticity (checking if an image is original, stock, or has been used elsewhere to detect fakes or scams, often supported by tools like an ai image detector)
  • Facial recognition
  • Tracking copyright infringement
  • Research and investigation

Facial Recognition Search

AI Facial Recognition is a technology that’s not only useful but also surprisingly accurate. Uploading the image of your face is enough to find your images used online - no matter the facial expression, lighting, place, etc.

How does Facial Recognition work in Image Search?

Face Search with AI works by detecting facial features in an image. It’s done by teaching the AI how to do that. You can read more about it on lenso.ai’s AI & Reverse Image Search Blog.
