The process of performing a reverse image search increases 10x by keeping fingerprints or parts of all past image searches stored.Īfter you upload an image, its fingerprinting algorithm starts functioning. The searched image is compared to this database and the result is displayed accordingly. If an image similar to an uploaded image, is not stored in the database, then no result will be displayed.įor example, TinEye maintains a database of around 59.8 Billion images. In simple words, a reverse image search engine displays its results based on the images stored in a database. They can be further stored and maintained in a database.Each part of an image can be converted to a string of numbers and letters.These can include the Number of Pixels, Image Size, Resolution, Pixel Arrangement, Gradient, Textures, and more. You need to first identify the unique characteristics of all images.

Thus, you can treat images the same as fingerprints.
