The poser is sucking a lot of women in for certain.
Is there a way to take the photos and try and learn who she is then that she tin be told what the heck is happening to her photos? I just have photos sent to me via email. If I were in her position, I would desire to know.

Didn't look similar anything I have seen yous mention, and so you might want to search pinterest if you can.
Amanda

I terminate upwards spending a couple hours every night combing through search results and Pinterest posts finding the stolen photos and reporting them to Pinterest. I normally written report about 150 pins per night! Crazy, isn't information technology?? If you ever see one, simply send me the URL and I will report it. :)

At present I'm off the hook. :-D

Really another smashing way is to directly upload that images to google images search and then look for similar images which are to your. Google images search is pretty powerful and will discover all those images which look similar without warring virtually the naming and You will go all the list of images and places where they are beingness hosted.

Hi Amanda.
I take IE and tried searching a few of my weblog tutorial pictures using your instructions in a higher place. I can not get whatever results from any of my attempts.

Information technology was sent every bit a Valentine salutation and it is then cute (2 horses hugging), but I don't know how to find out who owns information technology and so I can go permission to use it. Thank you.
Matt
Unfortunately this won't work in 99% of cases of image theft. This volition only work if the person has shared your paradigm to their web log or website. If they right clicked and saved the image like 99% of people do, then upload the image this doesn't work. So information technology'southward basically useless.

Caitlin
Amanda and Kevin,
Can you help? Photos were sent to me (we met on an online dating site) and turns out the person on the site is pretending to be this adult female. It's actually a homo posing as her. He has sent some pics that I highly doubt she would want floating around (not sure how she feels almost not-heterosexuality but information technology'due south a lesbian dating site). The poser is sucking a lot of women in for certain.
Is there a way to take the photos and try and learn who she is then that she tin be told what the heck is happening to her photos? I just have photos sent to me via email. If I were in her position, I would desire to know.
I tried on google reverse photo search with no luck and tineye with no luck.

Since I couldn't endeavour information technology on my web log- I tried information technology hither to meet it in action- just I didn't have to copy the paradigm & upload. When I right clicked- it gave me the pick in the drib down to just search epitome in Google. Which and so gave me the same page you showed with the results.

Interesting blog post on the contrary image search. Then, here's a one that'southward stumped me: I've put pretty strict restrictions on my online photos (no correct clicking to copy on my weblog, Flickr and Facebook). However, that doesn't stop someone from using my imaging (screen shots circumvent that pretty easily, that's why I've started watermarking my images). Anyway, I wonder if there's a fashion to search images whose URLs are unsearchable???

Even though I am a little blog I know I need to at least watermark my photos. I haven't found a "painless" way to do it without uploading/downloading each photo to a photo editing site.

If you lot don't have a blog and can't use the tutorial to a higher place (which shows you how to get the URL from a photograph on your blog), yous can use a site like Photobucket.com to upload a photo and become the URL.
Anne
Hello Amanda. FYI, there is a pinterest post out there (wish I had marked information technology but I didn't) that uses your before and after weight loss pics and when yous click on it it goes to some weight loss site. Didn't look similar anything I have seen yous mention, and so you might want to search pinterest if you can.
Amanda
Thanks so much for letting me know, Anne! That is exactly what I've been using this tutorial for. I terminate upwards spending a couple hours every night combing through search results and Pinterest posts finding the stolen photos and reporting them to Pinterest. I normally written report about 150 pins per night! Crazy, isn't information technology?? If you ever see one, simply send me the URL and I will report it. :)

Yeah, I'thousand not sure how authentic this is Kim, I never could get information technology to work either! (Firefox & Safari on Mac)
cynthia y
Hmm I don't know why its not working. This is the only way I look up images and have never had an issue. I exercise use Google Chrome mostly and never on a MAC. Simply I think I have gotten to work on IE and FireFox. I will effort to effigy it out for ya.

You always post such useful tips Amanda, thanks and so much :o)
A quick question though – will this work if the person, who has downloaded your photo and "recycled" information technology for their own use, has renamed the photo? Or volition it only work if they re-post the photo with exactly the same name/URL that it originally came with when you posted it – I hope that makes sense?
Amanda
Great question Candice! Yes, it will definitely work if the photo has been renamed — Information technology volition even work if the photo has been cropped, resized or even had modest changes made to it like lightened or darkened as well.
Candice
That is astonishing! Thanks over again for this actually cool info :o)
