FrameTrace Reverse Video Search

About

Find Any Video Source in One Click

FrameTrace helps you reverse search videos from webpages or from your own local files. Use it to find where a video came from, discover a longer version of a short clip, and check where the same video has been reposted online.

What You Can Do

Find the original source of a video.
Search for the full version of a short clip.
Check whether a video has been reposted or duplicated online.
Compare matching results from public web sources.
Use Deep Search for a more thorough search when a quick search is not enough.

How To Search Videos On A Webpage

Step 1: Open a webpage that contains a video.

Step 2: Click the FrameTrace extension icon in your Chrome toolbar.

Step 3: The extension detects available videos on the page and shows them in the panel.

Step 4: Select the video you want to investigate.

Step 5: Click Reverse Search for a quick lookup, or Deep Search for a more detailed search.

This is useful when you see a short clip online and want to know where it first appeared, whether a longer version exists, or whether the same video has been shared elsewhere.

How To Search Local Video Files

Step 1: Open FrameTrace and choose the local upload option.

Step 2: Select a video file from your computer.

Step 3: Click Reverse Search or Deep Search.

Step 4: Review matching results from public web sources.

This is useful when you already have a downloaded video and want to check if it appears elsewhere on the internet.

For local uploads, common formats such as MP4 and MOV are supported.

Who It Helps

Everyday users can find the source of viral clips before sharing them.

Creators can check whether their videos have been reposted without permission.

Researchers and journalists can investigate where a video appeared and compare related versions.

Brands and teams can monitor public reposts of their video content.

Why Use FrameTrace

FrameTrace keeps the workflow simple: open the extension, choose a video, and start searching. It is built for source discovery, repost checks, duplicate video discovery, and finding full versions of short clips.

FrameTrace searches public web sources and video pages where matching content may appear. Results depend on what is publicly accessible online.

Example sources include YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. FrameTrace is not limited to these platforms.

Privacy

The extension only sends a video for search when you choose to start a search. Local uploads are used for analysis and are not intended to be retained after processing.
