| Does TinEye look for the name of the images? What if the name has been changed? I never really understood how TinEye works. I've never found one of my images with it. |

TinEye compares the image information. It's *damn* good. It will even find moderate crops of images. It will find images where the resolution and/or compression has altered the image slightly. It works on pattern recognition, and it "catalogs" images it finds on the web, so it doesn't have to go search all over the place every time. At this point, though it only has a small percentage of the images on the web cataloged. Also see the TinEye FAQ. |

Don't be worried about the name of the file, I've suspected that a website user was stealing a photo, so I checked on Tineye for it, and I found that the guy had composed a new photo from another one, and still Tineye was able to find it.
It uses a lot of the information from the photo for that, and it's always expanding their database.
Also, for Firefox users there's an extra that you can right-click on an image and look for it in Tineye directly, very useful.
