Best visual search engines

The best visual search engines:

TinEye and Same Energy.

  • TinEye allows you to upload any image and search for similar images online. The FAQ claims that TinEye is "private and secure" and does not save user-uploaded images. Run by a small privately-owned company based in Toronto.
  • Same Energy makes it easy to search for images by typing a query or clicking any image on the screen. It's not a Big Tech service but an independent project by Jacob Jackson and does not appear to be engaged in surveillance capitalism.
  • Artvee allows you to search, “browse, and download high-resolution, public domain artworks.” (For example, see these typographic theater posters.)

Whatever you do, don't use Google Images for search.
