What Is Reverse Video Search And How To Use It?
Reverse video search is a technique used to find information about a video by inputting an image or a video clip instead of text. It allows users to search for the original source of a video, find similar videos, or identify objects, scenes, or people within the video.
Search Engine Journal contributor Alex Valencia has published an article explaining reverse video search and ways to using it.
He says, “A reverse video search essentially involves conducting the same process but in reverse.
Instead of entering a query/keyword to find content, you enter the content (like a video or image) to find its source. This reveals the webpage on which the video originally resides.
How Reverse Video Search Works
The result of a reverse video search relies on a search engine’s ability to interpret the colors and pixels within a video, and then find matching (similar or identical) videos on the web.
When successful, the algorithm is able to find the original source of the video and/or any other instances of the video online.
However, this process is not always 100% accurate. Even if a single pixel in the video has changed, it might not appear in the search results.”
