Reverse video search questions
What is reverse video search?
Reverse video search starts from a video or a screenshot instead of a text query and looks for the same footage elsewhere on the web. Creators use it to find reposts of their videos; anyone can use it to find where a clip came from.
How do I find who reposted my video?
Upload the video or paste its YouTube link and run the search. The report lists the copies we found, grouped by platform and sorted by upload date, so you can see where your video was reposted and which upload came first.
Can I use the report for a takedown?
Yes. The report gives you what a takedown form asks for: a link to each copy, its upload date and side-by-side proof next to your original. You file the notice with the platform in your own name, and the report is your evidence.
Does it find copies with new captions, edits or watermarks?
Yes. We match the scenes themselves, so copies with new captions, edits or watermarks are found too. A longer clip gives more scenes to match.
What do I pay for?
Your first search is free. A search is only used when we find matches for you. Plans start at $9.99 a month, or you can buy a search pack without a subscription.
Is my upload kept?
Your upload is used only for your search and deleted right after. Reports are kept so you can open them again from your history.

This one's playing hide and seek.
We only count a search when we find matches for you — so this one's on us. Nothing was used.
- Drop a longer clip — more scenes means a faster lock-on.
- Got the original file? It gives our AI the sharpest view.
- Run it again anytime — new videos go online every day.
By the numbers
- According to the YouTube Official Blog, over 20 million videos are uploaded to YouTube every day, YouTube Shorts average over 200 billion daily views, and YouTube runs localized versions in over 100 countries across 80 languages. With that much video in circulation, one clip often exists as many copies — searching by the video itself leads you to the original.
- Reverse Video Search Tool accepts 6 file types (MP4, MOV, WebM, GIF, JPG and PNG) and finds matches on 6 major platforms: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook and Reddit.
How investigators find the source
In its Advanced Guide on Verifying Video Content (2017), Bellingcat shows how sorting copies of a video by date reveals the original:
"If we sort them by date, we can find the oldest upload, which served as the source material for Action Tube." — Aric Toler, Bellingcat
Reverse Video Search Tool puts the earliest upload we find at the top of your results, so you start where the trail begins.
