TinEye Client: Find Similar Images On Internet From Windows Context Menu

Looking up random images on the web is rather simple. Just go to Image tab of Google and search for any type of image that you want, but sometimes, there is an image stored in your computer, or that you find randomly on a website, that catches your attention. You instantly want to set the image as your desktop wallpaper, but you can't, because either the image is too small, or does not match the resolution of your monitor. If you try to force the image on to your background, it will not fit perfectly. In order to find the same image in different resolutions, normally you have to have its name. Back in 2009, Nakodari reviewed a web service called TinEye, which is a reverse image search engine that uses image identification technology, rather than watermarks and metadata to search similar images on the web for any given image. This allows you to search for the same image in several different formats and resolutions even if you don't have its name. Recently, they released a desktop client to perform reverse search for images without opening the browser.
