Yandex image search is also great, you can do semantic search by image and crop, much more advanced than Google. It's so good it feels like Pinterest without the fluff and user accounts.
- whywhywhywhy 5y agoYandex reverse image search actually does what's it's supposed to, I use it a lot these days. Google at some point replaced identifying the exact image and finding different sizes/versions into some sort of machine learning problem where it tries (poorly) to identify the content of the image then shows you images that look similar but are usually not what you actually want.
- gs17 5y agoExactly. Someone online posted an interesting comic book page and I wanted to know what it was from. Google gave me a random word and a bunch of unrelated images. Yandex needed me to use their cropping tool (the image I had was a two page spread), but found it immediately after.
- taneq 5y agoHuh, Yandex does it too? I’ve been using TinEye for years and years for this.
- green01 5y ago+1 for Yandex, it also works for black/white images ie. manga which Google Images can't handle at all.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoAnything you do on Yandex you should probably "sandbox" via either a firefox container or private browser session since it's Russia based.
