This isn’t just nsfw-related, but I’ve been doing it a lot more lately because of here.
Is there a tool to help find the highest quality version of an image? I currently use tineye.com, Google Lens and a lot of manual work to download images (including pulling deleted ones from archive.org or similar).
Generally, I’m trying to find the largest image (both in pixels and in cropping) with the fewest extra watermarks on (but the original ones still in there).
Ideally, I’d like a tool that starts like tineye.com but then downloads the likely candidates and gives me a gallery/slideshow I could quickly use to find the best - or a better one I can feed back in to search again.
I like http://imgops.com It allows you to search several search engines, including Google, tineye, Bing and non-us based ones.
Thanks, I’d found that after my post and it’s got some great tools. I found you can set up a quicksearch using the url https://imgops.com/start?url=%s - I have mine set to
i
so I can stick an i and a space before a url and get to that page.
I dont know a tool directly but I guess one can code that pretty quick. There should be APIs for image reverse search, then let x images download and check automatically their resolution Could be done in python. Maybe ask ChatGPT to write that
Sry for that non direct answer ^^
I can code, but I have too many projects already, and there’s a lot more to it than you think, for example some images will only load with the right referer header.
Tineye does have an API, but it’s not free and the lowest spend is $200 for 5k searches.
Oh ok then Im out of ideas. I am not really deep into this, only wanted to hint an idea :) Hope you find something thats suits your needs
Thanks for the help, it’s a good idea to try to find a free/cheap reverse image API - perhaps I can then find someone’s tool that uses it.
