Tineye is a software firm that rolled out a reverse image search engine.[1][2] Unlike a convention text-based search engine, where the user requests a search for web-pages with a particular string of text, tineye users supply the search engine with an image, and it returns web-pages with a version of that image.
Tineye doesn't just provide web-pages with exact matches of the image in question.[1][2] It can recognize images that are cropped, images that are of different resolution, images that have been altered.
Tineye's own web-page went live in 2008, three years before google added a reverse image search feature to its own search engine.[3][4]
