YouTube video finder: find the YouTube video behind a clip or Short

To find a YouTube video from a clip, a Short or a screenshot, upload it to Reverse Video Search Tool. Our visual AI matches the picture to YouTube uploads and shows you the original video, the channel that posted it, the posting date and the copies we find on other platforms.

Drop a video or screenshot

MP4, MOV, WebM, GIF, JPG, PNG · up to 200 MB ·
or paste a YouTube link
Spotted a copy on TikTok or Instagram? Drop the saved video or a quick screen recording to find the original and every repost.

When a YouTube video finder helps

  • A reupload with the credits removed. Find the creator's original upload and channel.
  • A Short cut from a longer video. Jump from the Short to the full-length video it came from.
  • A clip shared on TikTok or Instagram that started on YouTube. Trace it back to the YouTube upload.
  • A thumbnail or screenshot with no title. Find the video it belongs to.

How to find a YouTube video from a clip

  1. Save the clip or take a screenshot. A moment where the subject is clear works best; a short clip works great too.
  2. Upload it here. MP4, MOV, WebM, GIF, JPG and PNG are all accepted. Already have a YouTube link to a reupload? Paste it into the search box to find the original.
  3. Open the YouTube result. We show the matching YouTube video with its channel and date, then other uploads of the same footage.

What your YouTube result includes

  • Video title and a direct YouTube link
  • Channel name, so you can credit or contact the creator
  • Upload date, to compare against reuploads
  • Other YouTube channels and platforms where the same footage appears

Tips for the best match

  • Pick a moment with a distinctive scene — a face, a location, on-screen text or a logo.
  • A clip of a few seconds gives the AI more to work with than a single still.
  • For a Short, upload the Short itself; we find both the Short and the long video it came from.

YouTube by the numbers

According to YouTube, more than 20 million videos are uploaded every day, YouTube Shorts average over 200 billion daily views, and YouTube runs localized versions in over 100 countries across 80 languages. Pew Research Center found in its 2026 survey that 84% of U.S. adults use YouTube, more than any other platform it asked about. That is a lot of places for one clip to be uploaded again, so the earliest upload is the one worth finding.

FAQ

Yes. Reverse Video Search Tool works as a YouTube finder: upload a clip, a Short or a screenshot and it returns the YouTube video, the channel and the upload date.

How do I find a YouTube video from a screenshot?

Upload the screenshot to Reverse Video Search Tool. It matches the image to YouTube uploads and returns the video, the channel and the upload date.

Can I find the original of a reuploaded YouTube video?

Yes. Upload a clip of the reupload and compare upload dates across the channels we find; the results put the earliest upload first.

Can I find the full video from a YouTube Short?

Yes. Upload the Short and the results include the full-length video it was cut from.

Does it work for videos that were shared outside YouTube?

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.
