Most of us either search using certain keywords or simply look for images that might be close to what we are looking for. But, what if you have to find an image related to one of the images you already have? In such a scenario, words don’t really help, hence we have a reverse image search option for the browsers we use in our phones and laptops. 

Reverse image search is the simplest way to use an image to find the image’s source or to find related images for it. You can do this with literally any image you might have, using its URL or the image itself. You can try tools like “https://www.reverseimagesearch.org/” to perform a reverse image search.
