Reverse image search is a type of search in which images are input data. The image is analyzed according to a certain technique, converted into a certain structure, which is then used to search in an index of images.

The index of images is created in advance from a set of images intended for search. Indexed images are also processed in a certain way before being added to a special index, which is searched in a fraction of a second among millions of different pictures, photos, icons, etc.

This online Reverse image search app uses the GroupDocs.Search library, which implements the reverse image search functionality based on indexing specially calculated image hashes. Billions of searchable images can be added to the GroupDocs.Search index.

Search in this application can be performed:

in separate image files of various formats;
in ZIP archives;
in various documents that support image embedding.

The search is performed on an image in a separate file in one of the supported formats. When searching, it is possible to set the minimum level of similarity between the source image and the resulting images found.
