reverse-image
TinEye
The oldest dedicated reverse-image engine, indexing more than 70 billion images and specializing in exact and edited copies, including the earliest indexed appearance of an image. The web search is free to use manually; the API is paid, so there is no automated route here. Especially valuable when you need to date an image or establish where it first surfaced.

Warum es nützlich ist & wie es funktioniert
TinEye is the original dedicated reverse-image engine and remains the best tool for establishing an image's history: it records the earliest date it found each image, making it invaluable for verifying whether a photograph is being used out of context or was originally published long before the event it claims to show. It specializes in exact and near-exact copies, catching cropped, colour-adjusted, and recompressed versions. Because the API requires a paid commercial bundle, Echo hands you a direct link to TinEye's free web search, where you can upload or paste a URL yourself.
