Reverse image search finds images that look similar to a reference image. You can upload an image, drag one into the app, paste a screenshot, or start from an existing indexed item.
Steps
- Open the image search dialog from the top toolbar.
- Upload, drag, or paste a reference image.
- Choose a search strategy.
- Set the search scope and maximum result count.
- Start the search and review the results.
Start from Existing Material
When browsing an indexed image, use the similar-image action to search directly from that item. This is convenient when you find one useful image and want more like it.
Choosing a Search Strategy
- Global: general visual similarity.
- Global with background removal: focuses more on clear subjects such as products, people, or objects.
- Global color: emphasizes color similarity and palette.
- Local keypoints: useful for crops, patterns, partial screenshots, and finding the full image from a small region.
Search Scope
Choose whether to search the whole database, a folder, a collection, or another available range. Narrowing the scope can make results more relevant and faster to review.
Common Cases
- If pasted screenshots are not detected, copy an actual image to the clipboard first.
- If results are too broad, crop the reference image or narrow the scope.
- If a strategy is unavailable, generate or rebuild the corresponding data first.
