A reverse image search will search the public internet to see if any sites return that same photo.
Reverse image searching is a tool you can use to help you validate whether someone’s profile is real, specifically, whether or not they are using stolen photos on their profile. This is where reverse image searching comes in. Since most online platforms require little (if any) identity verification in order to create a profile, it’s unfortunately easier than you’d think for people to pose as someone they’re not online. But how can you know if the person on the other end is who they say they are? From dating sites to friendship apps to social media-millions of people interact with strangers online everyday.
