ans I met someone online in a random forum who said he could track anyone down with just a photo or link to a dating profile that had no name or identifiable information & all he needed was a photo or link to a dating profile & could check them out & find out who they really were within a few hours. I was recently talking with someone online from a chat site and i thought we had become friends, but something just didn’t seem right & they were sending me photos of themselves to my email and i reversed imaged searched all their photos & none came up so i downloaded exiftool which extracts the metadata of a photo to see where the photo was taken & gives you a lot of info but all the metadata had been removed so obviously i was starting to doubt this person even existed. I know this is an old article but im curious how can you find the original source of an image when its not found on tineye or Google reverse image.

You can also use TinEye although I didn’t think it worked as well.Ĭheck out my copyright series here to learn what copyright, fair use and creative commons means, how to protect your work by writing copyright notices, creative commons licenses and terms of use policies, what to do if you discover someone using your content without permission and more.If you can’t find the original source, it is better to use a different image instead.While on the creators site, have a look for a policy or copyright statement, this will let you know what copyright the person has put on their content and whether or not it can be redistributed etc.
You may also see a lot of Pinterest links and a list of visually similar images. You’ll see pages that include the image you searched for, one of these is likely to be the owner and the original source.You can also drag the image into the search box.If the image is online, click the camera icon and paste the direct url or address of the image.If the image is on your computer, click the little camera icon and choose upload photo.Open Google Image Search in a new window.This is also a great way to see who has used your images on the internet. There is a way to find the original source of an image either online or saved to your computer using Reverse Image Search. How to find the original source of any image There’s nothing worse than seeing your image on Pinterest with hundreds of re-pins linked to another site because someone used it in a blog post without crediting it to you. It is important to link to the original site. Weheartit is a bookmarking site and unfortunately images usually get added there without an original source. I love weheartit for inspiring and pretty images but when it comes to proper sources, this site is awful. What about social media sites such as We Heart It & Pinterest How would you feel if your images were being used on another site without a link to you? Pretty annoyed I’d imagine, as you should be. More importantly, the creator can take legal action if you post their work without proper credits and consent. You are using an image that someone took the time to create whether it be a photograph, an illustration or a graphic, therefore you should link back to them as a way of saying thank you. Why do I need to give credit to original sourceįirstly, because it’s the right thing you do.
Todays post will explain giving credit, what might happen if you don’t and how to properly find the original creator. The saying “a picture is worth 1000 words” is extremely relative when it comes to blogging, so why don’t we give credit to those who made the image. Images are an essential part of blogging, helping to attract readers and adding a little something extra to a post. A long overdue post about finding the correct original source for images and giving proper credit when using images that aren’t yours.
