- Reverse image search across Yandex, Google Lens, Bing Visual Search, TinEye and Baidu to find where a picture came from and who published… Use when reverse image searching, identifying a photo, face, logo, product, uniform or building, tracing a profile picture or avatar, finding the oldest copy of an image, checking whether a photo is stock or a repost, or reverse-searching a video by keyframes.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Find the original image The goal is almost never "find a match". It is **find the earliest publication and read its page**. A match tells you the image exists elsewhere; the earliest page tells you the photographer, the date, the caption, and the names — which is what you actually pivot on. The beginner mistake: uploading the full frame to one engine, getting nothing, and concluding the image is unindexed. Cropping to one distinctive object and re-searching finds things full-frame search cannot. ## Pick your engine by what you are holding | You have | Start with | Why | |---|---|---| | A face | Yandex | Its index is built around facial similarity, so it returns different people who look alike *and* the same person in other photographs. No other general engine does this. | | A face, and Yandex fails | A dedicated face engine (see below) | Only after you have cleared the legal and consent questions. | | A street scene outside North America / Western Europe | Yandex | Deeply indexed Russian, Central [человек], Eastern European, Turkish and Chinese web content that Google under-crawls. | …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/find-the-original-image@sha256:183f9aab8b4a3b10The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.402f6b7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
