When TinEye is the right tool
Tracing the origin of a meme, artwork or news photo, finding the highest-resolution copy, or checking who is using your product images. TinEye is good at exact copies, including cropped and edited ones.
When you need face search instead
Checking whether a dating match is real, finding a person's other profiles or seeing where your own face appears. These need face matching, because the photos you're looking for are different pictures of the same person.
Common questions
Can TinEye search for faces?
No. TinEye matches whole images, not faces. Use a face search tool to find different photos of the same person.
