Backtracking images to verify

[Thirdlegproduction]

I don't know how long google has had this option but thank god it exists.

For the people who don't know you can copy and paste an image url to google search results and it will look for sites who have that image on it.

Very useful in exposing fake profiles.
I know Tineye, has the same function but I prefer google.

Made life dealing with fakes so much easier.

Does it work off the file name or from the actual content of the image?

I work with google for my job so this is really interesting to me!

It'll be the content. It can even bring up similar looking pictures.

I have done some succesfull backtracking with just the filename or a partial name.

Soooo very usefull in identifying fakes, can't state my happiness of this function.
