Image Search Engines
Posted in Tools | On 19th October 2009 | 5 Comments
Most of will use Google’s, Bing’s or Yahoo’s image search function when researching or looking for images, but there are some great image search engines that can search in realtime, search free stock images, search by colour and even search for images of faces.
We have found twelve of these great engines for you to use for your research, or even just to see what is happening in the world.
I must highlight TinEye (the reverse image search engine), you can backtrack and discover the images history, where its from, where it has been used or if there are altered versions available online!

You forgot http://search.io/images/

I did indeed! Although I was aiming for image search specific sites in particular, Search.io is a very good one!
Thanks for the link Toni

Seriously I wouldn’t had never know there was so many SE’s to search image unless you showed this thread to me inside the forum. I don’t understand why we need so many but again I guess once you find the one you like you probably won’t use any others. I still think Google does a great job at finding images as well.

Very useful post, I have bookmarked some of these links, I have a folder for image search websites and search engines that I have been using for finding photos for my designs! and your post is retweeted already

McBonio,
I use iStock for images (at work) and I laugh when I see some of the images I didn’t like being used on other websites and in affiliate ads. The great thing about this list you have provided is if you find an image, chances are slim that you will see it somewhere else. I’ve never heard of any of these and I’m very anxious to check them out.
Thanks!
