What it is
Search by Image is a free website and browser extension for finding products from pictures or image links. Its artificial-intelligence visual recognition searches for similar images across AliExpress, Alibaba, Amazon, and eBay. You can upload a photo from a computer or mobile device, paste an image URL, or use an extension for Chrome, Edge, Opera, Firefox, Whale, or Yandex. In a browser, right-click an image and choose “Find product by image,” or enter its URL in the extension popup. The site also describes finding products shown in YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram videos by uploading a screenshot. It says shoppers can compare marketplace and online-store prices. The Free plan is free, covering the website and browser extensions. Results can fail when images are low quality, contain too many objects, or product servers are overloaded; cropping or trying another image may help.
