Search by Image is a browser extension that enables reverse image search across multiple search engines.
The extension solves the problem of quickly finding the source or related information about an image by allowing users to perform reverse image searches directly from their browser. Rather than manually uploading images to search engine websites, the tool integrates search functionality into the browser context menu, letting users right-click on any image and search for it across their choice of search engines.
The tool supports more than thirty search engines, making it suitable for users who want flexibility in which service handles their reverse image search queries. It is available across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Safari on macOS and iOS, and Samsung Galaxy devices, so adoption depends primarily on which browser and platform a user relies on. The extension is particularly useful for researchers, designers, content creators, and anyone who frequently needs to verify image sources or find similar images online.
The project maintains active development with regular updates across its multiple platform implementations. The codebase is written in JavaScript and the extension is distributed through official platform stores rather than requiring manual installation, ensuring users receive updates automatically.
