Find the original video from a clip or screenshot
To find the full original video from a short clip, upload the clip to Reverse Video Search Tool. It is an original video finder that works from what you already have: a short clip, a GIF or a single screenshot. Upload it and our visual AI matches it against videos across the web, then shows you the full video, the original upload and the reposts we find — no title, keywords or link needed.
Drop a video or screenshot
What you can start from
| You have | Upload this | You get |
|---|---|---|
| A clip saved from TikTok, Reels or Shorts | The MP4, MOV or WebM file | The full video and who posted it first |
| A screenshot of a moment you paused on | The JPG or PNG | The video it came from, with the matching moment |
| A looping GIF or meme | The GIF | The original video behind the meme |
| A screen recording | The recording | The source video and its reposts |

Where people use it
- "I saw this on my feed and lost track of it." Upload the screen recording you made and jump straight to the full video.
- "Someone sent me a clip with no context." See where it was first posted and read the original caption.
- "I need the whole interview, not the 10-second cut." Find the full-length upload the clip was taken from.
Why one clip ends up in many places
According to Pew Research Center’s 2026 survey of U.S. adults, 84% use YouTube, 70% use Facebook and 51% use Instagram. According to YouTube, more than 20 million videos are uploaded to YouTube every day. With that many people and uploads, a short clip you see on one app has often been cut from a longer video posted somewhere else, which is why it pays to search with the clip itself.
