Search image by Yandex

About

Search image by Yandex is a simple Chrome extension for visual lookup with Yandex Images.

Find similar pictures, sources, visual matches, product photos, artwork, screenshots, and references faster without manually opening a separate page and uploading files yourself.

Open the context menu on an image, choose "Search image by Yandex", and the result opens in a new tab next to your current tab. You can also use the popup to drop an image, paste an image from the clipboard, paste an image URL, paste a base64 data URL, or search a local image file.
