Reverse Image Search — Teletraan Mainframe

Search for an image across the web to find where it originally came from or where else it appears.

Reverse image search launcher. Accepts an image URL or file upload and opens the search in Google Images, TinEye, Bing Visual Search, and Yandex Images.

For URL input: constructs deep-link URLs to each search engine's reverse image search endpoint (Google: lens.google.com/uploadbyurl, TinEye: tineye.com/search, Bing: bing.com/images/search?view=detailv2&q=imgurl:, Yandex: yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview&url=). For file uploads: generates a data URI or object URL passed to services that accept file upload (TinEye, Yandex). No image data passes through Teletraan servers.

Opens third-party search engines (Google, TinEye, Bing, Yandex, SauceNAO, IQDB) in new tabs. Your image or URL is submitted directly to the service you choose — not through Teletraan. Review each service's privacy policy before uploading sensitive images.

Image URL or upload

Search engines

How it works: For URL-based searches, clicking a search engine opens it with the image URL pre-filled (where supported). For uploaded files, the image is shown — you'll need to drag it to the search engine, or use the "Upload" flow on the engine's site. TinEye and SauceNAO support direct URL search.
