How to find a source of an image

If you have an image and you’re unable to identify details regarding copyright (such as the creator, the title or source), you can try a reverse image search using Google Images to locate the citation and source information for the image.

  1. Open Google Images and click on the camera icon.
  2. Click on “Upload an image” and then “Choose File.”
  3. Locate and the image file and click on Open to upload to Google Images.
  4. Google will then search for the image and if found provide a set of results for similar or matched images.

You will then need to search through the results to find a copy of the image that provides the correct details for the image.
