Checking an image for plagiarism. Search for a similar photo on the Internet. PS: Interesting facts on image search in Yandex
Search engines and users have special requirements for sites. The portal should have a clear interface, interesting design, unique, optimized texts. Some articles may include video, audio, and pictures. The latter, like the text itself, must meet certain criteria. One of these is uniqueness. There are several ways to check a photo for uniqueness online.
If the site uses non-unique images, it will not be blocked. However, photographs not previously posted on the Internet increase the likelihood of being in search engines.
The second point is that some photos are so popular that the user could already see them on another site. The trust in the portal and the satisfaction of the visitor is decreasing.
And third, some articles, for example, instructions, recipes, must necessarily contain pictures. So the material looks more visual and understandable.
How can you check the uniqueness of an image?
The easiest way to check is through search engines. This can be done both from the phone and from a mobile device.
In order to check a photo for uniqueness online in Yandex, open the home page of yandex .ru and go to the "Pictures" tab. At the top there is a button with a camera. You need to click on it.
When trying to upload a high-resolution picture, the search engine gives an error.
When a picture is found on the Internet, a search engine can do the following:
- Suggest an image in a different resolution.
- Assume what is in the photo.
- Show similar pictures.
- Display a list of sites where the image is found.
The second search engine to check for uniqueness is Google. Open the google .ru start page and go to the "Pictures" tab.
On the top right, there is a button with a camera icon "Search by picture". There are also 2 options available: file upload or link. Verification takes a few seconds.
The displayed data for the found image is similar to Yandex. These are the dimensions of the image, similar images, links and the definition of what is in the photo.
Services for checking the uniqueness of images
TinEye is a foreign search engine that specializes in checking photos on the Internet. Developed in Canada in 2008. To verify, you need to go to tineye.com and insert the image in one of two ways.
The search engine shows the number of matches found and links to sites.
Another service for checking uniqueness is the AntiPlagiat .NET program installed on a computer. Developer - one of the largest rewriting and copywriting exchanges. It allows you not only to find matches in images,
Instructions for checking uniqueness using "Etxt Antiplagiat"
To get started, you need to install the program on your computer. To do this, go to the website .ru or .biz. On the main page of the site, scroll down the page, find the point about anti-plagiarism and click on the "Details" button.
Scroll through the online check box and on the left, find the "Download program" column. At the bottom there will be a Free Download button.
In the window that appears, select the required suitable operating system and click "Download".
On the top right there is a button "Check pictures". In the window that appears, you must specify a link or download a file by clicking on three dots.
Upload a picture and wait for the verification results. If the image is not unique, information about this, as well as a link to the page, are written below.
In the second version, when the image is unique, the program can find similar images and provide links to them.
How to make your photo more unique?
It is best to use unique images initially. You can make them yourself or buy them for a small fee. Pictures are sold on specialized sites, photo stocks.
If this is not possible, there are several ways to increase the uniqueness of the picture.
- Adding a watermark. This can be done through most graphic editors. The "Flexible upload" plugin for WordPress also copes with this task.
- Rotate the image 180 degrees (mirror image).
- Changes in the general tone, color of large details.
- Replacing the background.
- Adding new large elements.
- Rotation of the entire picture or the largest object on it by several degrees.
Conclusion
Unique photographs help systems. All image verification services work equally well and show correct results. However, when working with Yandex on a computer, it is not always possible to download high-resolution pictures. On the other hand, it is this search engine that functions well on a smartphone; there is a photo search button on the start page.
Unique, interesting and high-quality content is the basis for the success of any website. If everything is more or less clear with the text, then the question of the uniqueness of the images remains open. Pictures are the most important part of the content of any site and it is natural that the uniqueness of these pictures will play an important role in promoting the resource. Today I will tell you, dear reader, about how to check a picture for uniqueness. Let's close this question once and for all?
How to check a picture for uniqueness in Yandex (Yandex)
Today there are several ways to check a picture for uniqueness online. In this article we will look at some of the simplest and most affordable ways, and we will start with the Yandex search engine.
It is very easy to check a picture for uniqueness in Yandex. To do this, you need to open a search engine and click on the "pictures" link above the search bar:
In the window that appears, you will now need to click on the camera icon:
After that, a drop-down tab will appear where you will be asked to check the picture for uniqueness by uploading from a computer or by simply dragging and dropping, adding a link to the picture if it has already been uploaded to any resource. To get the address of a picture uploaded to the site, just right-click on it and select "Open picture in a new tab" in the menu that appears. After that, the picture will open in the browser and in the address bar you can copy the link and paste it into the line for verification.
You can use whichever is the most convenient of the two. After you add a picture for the search, you will see the result in the search results. If the picture is unique, the Yandex picture search engine will inform you that no similar pictures have been found, or will show all available results. In my case, the picture turned out to be unique, since I had previously worked with it in order to place it on my other website.
It will be ideal if you get the same result.
So, we looked at how to check an image for uniqueness in Yandex. Now we can go to a similar service from Google to check the same picture.
How to check an image for uniqueness Google (Google)
Checking a picture for uniqueness in Google (Google) is also not difficult, because we will do everything the same as when checking pictures in Yandex.
So, open the Google search engine. In the upper right corner we find a link with the name "pictures" and click on it.
After that, we will see this picture, where we will need to find the camera icon and click on it:
After that, just like in the Yandex service, you will be prompted to upload a picture from your computer or simply drag and drop it. Just like in the case with Yandex, you can add a link to the uploaded image.
After that, you will see the results of searching for similar images in the Google search engine. As usual, for the example, I added my picture to the check and got the following result:
My picture for the google search engine also turned out to be unique. This is exactly what I wanted.
Checking the picture for uniqueness using the browser
After you have tried the two previous methods of how to check a picture for uniqueness online, this option will be the easiest for you. However, you can only check pictures from sites, since this function is not applicable for pictures on a computer.
To do this, just click on the picture of interest with the right mouse button and select the "Find picture" item in the menu that appears. Depending on which search engine is running by default in your browser, the result will be shown there.
How to check a picture for uniqueness online through TinEye
And now I will show you another interesting way to check a picture for uniqueness online. We will talk about the service TinEye.Com This service allows for a broader check because it searches not only in the search engines of the Russian Internet, but also partially in the search engines of the so-called "burzhunet". Maybe this opportunity is not so relevant for us, but nevertheless it exists and is useful in some cases.
Go to the site of this search engine using the link TinEye.Com Just like in Yandex and Google, here you can upload a picture from your computer, just drag it from your computer directly to the site or add the copied address of the picture to the search bar.
I will take the picture that I used before to check it in order to compare it with the results obtained from Yandex and Google. Since the picture is on my computer, I'll just drag and drop it directly onto the site.
We are waiting for some time and see the result.
As you can see, the picture turned out to be unique, which I had no doubt about. There are no search results and therefore I can safely publish this picture on my site, thereby increasing its importance for search engines.
We examined the simplest and most affordable ways to check a picture for uniqueness online and, as you can see, there is nothing complicated here. However, many may have a reasonable question: How to make a picture unique? To do this, you have to work a little and use the help of some programs and services. But, I will try to talk about this in another article.
That's all for me. I hope that my article was helpful to you. Leave your comments, share your experience with pictures and subscribe to updates to my blog in the form below this article.
I wish you success!

Hello, friends! Ekaterina Kalmykova is with you, and today I would like to ask you: how do you check the uniqueness of the pictures that you use in articles and should they be checked at all?
My answer is very simple, of course you need to! After all, we care about the quality of the written post, namely the text, why should it be different with other data? Therefore, in the article we will talk about how to check a photo for uniqueness online.
Why check?
I think it doesn't take a long time to explain the importance of unique content. I will highlight three key points:
- So that search robots put you in the top results;
- For your promotion to work correctly;
- To make it pleasant for the reader not only to read the unique text, but also to watch interesting images that he has not seen before.
How to check a photo for uniqueness online?
Let's talk about what services you can check your pictures with.
It would seem that we are used to perceiving it only as a search engine. But over the years of development, the company has created quite a few services that allow you not only to follow the life of your project, but also to make it special. For example, I use Google and it is very convenient for me.
Google, like the rest of the systems that we will talk about today, performs verification in the following way - it checks how often the document has been found on the network, and how many times other users have used it.
So, how can you check the uniqueness:
Go to the page google.com
Click on the camera icon.
In the pop-up window, you can choose to search by link or download your file and check in this way.
We will choose the second option "Upload File".
Now we see the bottom line. 
The picture I checked was used about 520 times. It will be too much 🙂
As you can see, there is nothing difficult in checking with Google. Everything happens quickly and without any problems. I think it's understandable that the fewer times a picture is used, the better.
Yandex
It turns out that the Yandex resource is not only a search engine, but also a multifunctional assistant for many bloggers. We have already talked about a huge number of useful services of this site, including about, and one more is a free online check of illustrations. The principle of operation for Yandex is the same as for Google.
We go to the service Yandex.ru.
Click on the camera.
In the tab that opens, we transfer the photo we need to check or enter the address of the picture.
And now we enjoy the result.
Yandex showed us all the sites where the same picture is found.
Tineye
And the last option that will help you find out how unique the picture is - tineye. The way of working does not differ from Yandex or Google, so it will be very easy to understand it:
We go to the service tyneye.com.
Now we select either search for images by url or download.
Here's our total: 183 results. It is up to you to insert such a picture into an article or look for something else, but I would not use it.
As you yourself can see, not all services show the same result, so I would recommend checking on different systems to be sure of the information. The fewer times a picture has been used, the better.
Here are some tips on how to keep your content unique:
- It is best to use unique images. They can be found on a variety of resources that provide an opportunity to purchase pictures or use personal photos.
- If you don't feel like buying, try changing the tone of the photo.
- You can also take some part of the image.
- Alternatively, flip the image, put it slightly upside down, etc.
- Add your own elements to the photo, for example, arrows, pointers, some shapes, highlighting certain parts, etc.
In these simple ways, you can check the uniqueness of the images that you want to add to your post. If you upload all photos from your own "Vacation - Gelendzhik - 2015" archive, you don't have to bother checking. But if you really liked the picture from someone else's resource, make sure that it is not plagiarism, otherwise you may suffer.
Illustrate your articles with the most interesting and individual drawings! And everything will be cool!

Photos are one of the main types of content today . Do not include unverified photos in your texts and posts, especially if you write on complex social or political topics. Filling the site with content must be competent and of high quality - respect your readers and take care of your reputation.
There are several ways to check if the illustration is real or if it is a fake photo:
- If you are the proud owner of the Google Chrome browser, then we can congratulate you - the check will take no more than a minute. After entering the browser, right-click on the suspicious photo and select "Find this image on Google".
- If you do not like Google Chrome or do not have the ability to install it, then in this case special plugins will help you: for example, Who stole my pictures (allows you to find a picture in browsers such as Google, Yandex and Tineye).
- But you can check the picture for fake even without Chrome and plugins. How? Easy! In any browser, next to the tab on which you have an Internet resource with a suspicious illustration open, you need to open another tab. After that, already in the new section of Google pictures. Then return to the previous tab and drag the "suspicious" image with the mouse to the new tab and release it in the search bar.
- In addition, you can check not only pictures directly from sites, but also those that are saved on your computer's hard drive - you just need to drag the photo to the image search bar in Google.
All of the above actions will allow you to determine whether the photo is original or has already been processed in Photoshop, as well as to find out the date of publication of the picture and what is actually shown on it.
Checking photos for authenticity, the absence of fake photos is the guarantee of your professionalism and the trust of the readership.
In this article, we will talk about checking images and photographs for uniqueness online. If you use images in your videos, clips, postcards, websites and blogs, you are interested in making them unique.
Moreover, there are two sides to this issue:
1. You are using photos and pictures from the Internet.
I am often asked questions: is it necessary to use unique images, music, videos in your works? We can discuss this topic for a very long time, give various examples and comparisons, but I want to say the main thing.
If you are making a video or any other product for personal use, you can use any materials. Nobody will check it or make claims. But if you plan to post your work on the Internet, you need to be careful here.
2. You post your own unique photos and pictures on the Internet (on a website, in social networks, in a video) and want to check if someone is using them.
So, today we are talking about the uniqueness of images - how to check, whether this picture is found on the Internet, how often and on what sites.
TinEye service
TinEye is a convenient service that specializes in checking images for uniqueness and provides information on how many times a given image has been used and on which sites.
The creators of TinEye claim that there is an ongoing Internet search and regular updating of the image database. Tens of millions of new pictures are added every month.
Working with the service is very simple: on the main page you will see the following picture:
The checked image can be downloaded from a computer by clicking on the button marked with a red arrow, or by entering the URL in the field next to it. Then we press the button Search (magnifying glass icon) - and the search process begins.
Then the result is displayed (for example, I used a regular picture from the Internet):
This image was found 46 times on the Internet, and 17 356 billion images were searched within 0.8 seconds.
Below on the page there is a list of sites on which this picture was found, if you wish, you can view them. Of course, such an image cannot be called unique.
For the second example, I took a picture from my site, made by me in Photoshop. The result is like this:
As you can see, TinEye's picture is unique. Thus, you can quickly check any images, both on the Internet and on your computer.
Google.com
`The famous Google search engine has many additional services and functions. It can also help you check how often a given image is found on the Internet and on which sites.
We go to the well-known address Google.com and select Images (top right).
A window will open:
Click on the icon Search by imageindicated by a red arrow. The following window will appear:
Here we choose where we will upload the image from. By default, the window is active Specify link... If you need to upload an image from your computer, select the tab Upload fileindicated by the red arrow.
After that, the result is given: how many times the image is encountered, links to sites using it, images similar in Google's opinion.
I checked the same pictures, and the results differed from the TinEye service: the first picture is found much more often than in the first service, and he found the second 2 times on my website.
Yandex.ru
Yandex also has a similar service. Everything is similar to Google: select on the main page Images, then the icon Search by image... The button appears select a fileby clicking on which you indicate the path to the image.
After that, information appears about the picture, the sites on which it is posted. If the image is unique, you will see the caption No similar images were found.
To my surprise, Yandex found a second picture (which I made myself and considered unique) on two third-party sites, which I was convinced of by clicking on the links.
I say this to the fact that the owner can easily find resources on the Internet that contain his photos or pictures.
So, we looked at three services, the results were slightly different, and if it is important for you to accurately check some image, you can use all of them.
