I’ve been trying to track the origin of a few images that keep popping up on different sites, but the usual reverse search isn’t always helpful. I tried uploading them to Google Images and TinEye, and sometimes they show older versions of the image, but other times they return completely unrelated results.
For example, one image I found in a forum thread looked like it came from a news article, but when I searched it, the results were mostly reposts from blogs and meme pages instead of the original source. I even tried cropping the image and searching smaller sections to see if that helps, which worked once but not consistently.
Are there any better image search techniques people use when the normal reverse search doesn’t work? I’m curious if anyone here has a workflow for figuring out where an image first appeared online.
