The search for stock images just got quicker and more intelligent. Just like how you can “show” Google a picture and have it scour the internet for similar images, you can perform a reverse image search on 123RF too!
It’s a lot like a regular search, but with images. Insert an image instead of a keyword in the search bar to help you quickly discover visually similar images from our extensive library of stock images. Pretty cool, huh?
To perform a reverse image search on 123RF, upload your picture to the search bar. It is on the right side of the search bar with the camera icon.

There are absolutely no keywords needed to work a Reverse Image Search. Just drag and drop the image you have in mind into the reverse image search bar and have fun picking out the fantastic selections that the reverse image search has found for your content.
Knowing when and how to do a reverse image search can save you a lot of stress and frustration.
2. It’s a major time saver
You have a deadline coming up, and you need those stock images up and ready to go, and you needed them yesterday. You’ve already spent too much time looking for the perfect stock photo and have gone down a 123RF rabbit hole looking at results you don’t want.
Reverse Image Search technology breaks down the images and recognizes even the tiniest details. It’s especially useful when you can’t quite pinpoint what type of image you are looking for. Sometimes, it’s much more time-efficient to do a Reverse Image Search instead of using the filters and going through each search results page.
3. When you’re a visual thinker
The discovery that comes from reverse image searches allows you to interact with images differently than inserting a keyword and looking for images. Many novel ideas from great content creators and storytellers used images as a starting point.
Look at the intricacies of the colors and lighting in the photo. If you’re a visual thinker and you see words in pictures or vice versa, there’s a chance that a reverse image search could spark inspiration in you that you can regurgitate in later works!
