What is TinEye?

TinEye is a reverse image search engine. It allows
users to search not using keywords but with images: A user uploads an image to
the search engine or provides a URL for an image or for a page
containing the image and the search engine will look up other usage of the
image in the internet, including modified images based upon that image,
and report the date and time at which they were posted.
What kind of images can a user use
on TinEye?

File
type: JPEG, PNG and GIF images are all acceptable.
