Upload a picture or paste the URL

You can use it to know if there's any other identical photo on the Internet in order to verify its origin, authorship o find out if someone's using your photo. For the time being, there's no app for iPhone or APK for Android, but at least you can get hold of an add-on for Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Opera.

Find out if someone's stolen your photos or find the original source of an image.
