Today we will tell you, dear readers, about one extremely unusual feature that is present in VK - searching for similar photos, when you can find users who have the same image uploaded to their profile.
Why is this necessary, you ask? There are two main reasons.
- First. By searching for identical images, you can always find (or not find) the person who is using your photos. In other words, you will be able to detect your own clones.
- The second reason. Let's say you need to find a person, but you only have his photograph. With its help, you can use the image search on VK and, quite possibly, you will find the person you are looking for.
It is worth noting that there are many photo search services, for example, Google has it, but in this case the search is not carried out across the entire Internet, but only on VKontakte.
Looking for a user by picture
Let's start searching. Let's say that we need to find clones or users who have uploaded a certain photo.
The first step is to open the picture we are looking for. If it's not uploaded to your photo album, download it.
Open an image, for example:
We look at the address bar of the browser. You should see an address something like this: https://vk.com/photo********_384******. Under the stars photo******** yours is hiding, and the numbers 384****** , which are after the underscore, is the photo number. Copy this address, but without https://vk.com/, that is, you should succeed photo********_384******.
Close the tab or leave it open and open a new one, go to the VK page and select the “My News” section in the menu. You will see a news feed:
If there is a “Photos” item next to the “Feed” subsection, skip this step. If the item is missing, click on the cross and add the “Photos” item.
Click on the “Photos” item. The search bar “Search by Photos” will appear.
We write a word in a line copy: and add a link to the photo that we copied earlier, that is, you should get something like this: copy:photo********_384******. Please note that the asterisks are just an example, below them are the id and serial number of the photo! For example, if we take a specific photograph of Pavel Durov to search, then in the line we need to write, for example, copy:photo1_327778612, where photo1 is the user id (Durova in this case), and 327778612 is the serial number of the photo. Then press the Enter key.
In our case, we were able to detect 7 identical photographs.
If you click on each of them, you can see which user or public the image was uploaded to. Probably, the search is carried out only on those photos that are in the public domain. We were unable to find any pictures that were blocked from viewing.
The VKontakte website is one of the most popular social networks in Russia. In order for this resource to be in great demand, its creators took care of the convenience of the interface.

Below are some of the most effective ways. If one of them does not help you, feel free to move on to the other.
Ultimately, one of the methods will turn out to be the most suitable for your picture and the person will be found. We also recommend that you carry it out using several photographs at once, if you have them.
ServiceGoogle
The first and easiest way to search by image is the well-known Google. The developers of the popular system have introduced a function for working with user images.
Now you can not only enter a query, but also insert individual images into the text field. The search engine carries out analysis for all sites and social networks that are indexed in the system.
Let's look at a simple example of how to use the function:
- Let's go to the website. This page differs from the standard one by the presence of an additional button for adding;
- To get started, click on the camera icon. A window for selecting the type of photo upload will appear. The user can provide a direct link to an image already posted on the Internet or download graphics from the computer’s memory;
- Click on the “Search by image” button.
The result of processing your request in Google will look like this:
It will automatically indicate the person's name or subject. Also, the user will be able to view similar images. Another element of search results are pages that mention the person found.
Often, the result only shows similar images without providing a name. This means that there are too many similar pictures on the Internet and the system cannot find a 100% exact match. Try scrolling down to the "Pages with matching images" box. This way you can view a list of links that contain what you are looking for.
With it you can search not only for people, but also for various objects. As practice shows, a search engine can be very useful when you need to find out the name of an unknown object or find things you like.
Yandex
Photo search from Yandex is another popular service that searches for graphic content across all sites. At first glance, it is practically no different from Google, except for the interface and design. However, Yandex developers claim that their system uses a modified algorithm using computer vision.
This way, by using both systems, you can have a better chance of finding the one you're looking for. To start the analysis, go to the main site. Find the text line and next to it click on the “Pictures” tab to go to the corresponding section:
- In the tab that opens, click on the camera icon;
- Now in the tab that opens, click on the button to load a photo from the PC memory or provide a direct link to the picture on the Internet. Click on “Find”;
The result will be a set of the most similar images with which you can find a person. Also, you can select different picture sizes and continue the analysis with a better quality photo. Be sure to look at the list of mentions on other sites to increase your chances of discovering the person.
Analysis by photo inVK
In addition to standard systems, there are a lot of services for monitoring by photo only in specific social networks. Since 95% of Runet users have a profile on VKontakte, it is better to search for it using special resources that work only with this social network. This way, you will reduce the analysis time and the number of similar pictures.
To start monitoring photos on VK, you need to install an extension for the Chrome browser. The app is called "StopFake". Go to the software store and enter the name of the extension. Then click on the install key and wait for the button to appear in the upper right corner.
Although the program is designed to quickly identify fake accounts, it can also be used to find people. You will need to upload a photo to your album on VKontakte, since this can only be done using the one that is in the site’s database.
- Open the photo in your album in VK. The album can be private, the main thing is that it is on the website;
- After opening the image, press the key to launch the StopFake extension. It is located in the upper right corner of the browser toolbar. To eliminate possible errors in the operation of the utility, we recommend restarting the browser immediately after installing the extension;
