App summary

rimg, the free reverse image search app for Android, allows you to discover relevant information about the image you search. By using this app, you can locate the origin of an image or its other appearances on the web. The pictures you search can be from your phone’s gallery or a website URL. It utilizes the most popular and relevant image search engines. Once you reach the result page, you can easily switch between search engines to access and compare their results.

You can use reverse image search to:
🐠 filter out catfishes;
❤️ expose dating scammers;
🪴 identify plants, arts, and people;
🖼 find similar products; and
➕ perform any other image search.

Some features:
📷 Snap picture from camera to search
🖼 Search from gallery or URL
🌐 Look in Google, Bing, and Yandex
💾 Save pictures from webpages

In Image Search, to search a pre‑existing image, you can either select it from your phone’s camera roll (gallery) or enter a URL to that picture. If you wish to search an object that is in front of you, you can also take a picture from within the app and use that picture to search by image. This feature is especially useful when you are traveling and want to find out what stands right in front of you. You can also take a picture of any product or item that you see to search similar objects from around the web. Many users also reverse image search artworks to identify the original artist of an art‑piece, so they can accurately and appropriately credit the artist when posting their work online.

For any image you select, the app constructs a secure channel to execute a search. The selected image, through the channel built by the app, is passed onto the search engines. When a search engine receives the picture, it will display detailed results pertaining to that picture. This app is NOT affiliated to any of the search engines featured in it.

The search result usually contains other partially or fully matched pictures. The search engines also report any similar images from other sources. If the picture contains an identifiable individual or landmark, the search engine will display additional informative details on that individual or landmark. To do an in‑depth research, you can visit the website that the search engines find.

Get Image Search to initiate a free reverse image search. It will help you find more information on that picture you are curious about.

Perfect. I love the fact that it had Yandex, but at the same time I wish it had a translate option. My service is slow and it doesn't work so forced to use public wifi to use it. I use this because Google's own image search isn't able to download on my phone for some reason.

After the last update, I lost the ability to browse folders. I can now only select from my whole photo roll sorted chronologically, or from a select few "albums" that don't necessarily include the one I'm looking for. In "select from gallery", the search window used to include three dots in the upper right which showed an option to"browse". This no longer appears after the most recent update.

It works good enough for me. Pros: Google works the best for me. Only Bing does work out of the 3. But it finds multiple sites spot on. Cons: Its slow if downloading photos but not extremly slow. When swapping back to the app from another I have to reopen it. Thats all ive noticed so far.
