About Search by Image
Search by Image lets you look up an image on the web from inside the browser. Instead of saving a picture and uploading it to one site by hand, you send it to a reverse image search engine from the page and see where else it appears or what it shows.
It is available for Chrome, Edge and Safari, and is developed in the open on GitHub, where it has a large following and a maintained changelog. It suits people checking the origin of a photo, spotting reposted or fake images, or finding a higher-resolution copy.
