What is Reverse Image Search?
Reverse Image Search technology, like Tineye, Yandex, or Google reverse image search, enables you to search using a reference image instead of keywords. Search by image, iStock’s reverse image search tool, looks at the content and composition of your uploaded sample and finds similar stock images and videos.
