Search by Image by Armin Sebastian
Review by hackerb9
Rated 5 out of 5
by hackerb9, 2 years agoMany people have already mentioned how great the reverse image search is, but I want to point out that this extension also has a very powerful "OPEN IMAGE" option. Open Image, lets one see and save images that don't have IMG URLs.
For example, sites like artsandculture.google.com will send very high resolution images as tiled PNGs and use JavaScript to stitch them together. Each tile is just a data blob so all the other extensions I tried (Download All Images, Save Images, etc) failed to even detect that the image exists, much less let me save it.
I don't know how Search by Image is able to find images that other extensions miss, but I hope that eventually the author (Armin Sebastian @dessant) will create an extension that can download all such images from a page in a single click.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Beauleau, a month agoTHIS IS GARBAGE, EVERY PICTURE I SEARCH IF FINDS PICTURES OF EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE IMAGE I SEARCH. A BETTER DESCRIPTION WOULD BE, THIS APP WILL FIND EVERYTHING ELSE ON EARTH BUT THE IMAGE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. WHAT A JOKE!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18612655, a month agoNot sure why people are leaving 5 star reviews... this literally just opens the websites where you have to manually upload an image. I already have these websites bookmarked so this is therefore completely useless to me.
