How to Check The Originality of an Image (Plagiarised or Not?) Are you a fan of photography articles? I'm sure many of us are. But did it ever occur when you saw a stunning photo and you wondered how the photographer took such a lovely photo and asked yourself if it's really originally taken by that author? It happened to me several times. So in this article I'm going to show you how to check if a photo is really originally taken by the uploader. Let's check if this photo on my 'Flowers Photography' article is legitimately taken by me.
Long press the image or photo for the options to appear.
Click on search with Google Lens.
This is how it looks like while google lens is searching for related images.
Photos that somehow looks like my photo will appear but you won't see any photo that is exactly similar to it since this is an original photo.
Here you will see that the image is originally published on read cash.
While for this image, you'll clearly see that this one is plagiarised. So you can confidently comment something like this:
So that's how easy you can check whether an image you see on an article is plagiarised or not. It can also help you to check and search for the names of some flowers or plants that you are not familiar with. I hope you find this one helpful!

Wow. This is another way to stop the spammers, too. I didn't know this but not now I should try checking out the stunning photographs I've seen that seem to be not taken by just a mobile phone. Lol
Hehe I'm glad to know that you find this helpful. I'm been constantly doing it since I've updated my google chrome application because like you said, there are stunning photographs at times that you just can't believe if it's really taken by a mobile phone lol. And I thought that not all users know this and thought of sharing it today.
Yes. This is definitely helpful. Thank you for sharing it.
This is such a big help for me.. i actually don't know that it could be search like that. Thank you. 😊
It would be great if you discovered this before 'that' incident happened 😅 It's good that google updated the app now and we have the option to search it on the app even with an old model phone lol
Think mine is isn't updated, i can't do it. tried already. 😅
You should try updating your app first 😅
Wow that's amazing, I have tried this method on this article but I couldn't find the option to search by lens, although I have google lens in my device. What can be an issue? Can you guide me.
First, you have to make sure that your google chrome application is already updated. Is it?
Actually I found the issue. Two days back when I was using chrome I got a pop-up to add read cash to home page so I added it to the home page. Now I tend to use it from there. that's why it was not showing the option. After commenting I tried to open in chrome itself and found the option there. Thanks for your support.
Woahh Thank you for sharing. I will try that later. Another knowledge was added in my memory bank.
I'm happy to know that you find it helpful 😊
Yes very helpful thank you.
Nice. I will sure try this. I've seen a lot of wonderful photos and I doubt some of them are not orginally taken by the writers, themselves.
I also have doubts on some photography articles I saw here and tried so hard to check it's legitimacy until I found out about google lens 😅
Exactly, some are really beautiful and looks like they didn't took the photos.
That's why i usually use google lens to check the originality of an image, especially if I have doubts.
This is very useful information but I don't see the need to comment under someones post about plagerised pictures. There are pictures that I usually source from sites like pixabay, etc for free stock photos. In this case its not plagerised because you have the right to use them for free without crediting the photogrspher. People need to be careful with such comments under some authors pictures.
I understand what you want to point out here. And thank you for bringing that to my attention. Well I'm usually very careful with what I comment but for this one, I just can't help myself to say it since that person has been publishing articles mostly about photography and all of them are not authentic and the author don't give proper credits to the original uploader of the photos so I think it is only right to tell that person about it. And as you can see, I've hidden the username of that person just so he won't be humiliated but I hope that when he see this, he will learn his lesson.
Thanks for this tip. Now maybe it's easier for us to identify plagiarised photos from original ones..
It's definitely a good way to check for plagiarised photos. Specially the photos from photography articles.
Honestly, i get tired of seeing photography articles from the same person who posts 3 articles a day with the same introduction and less about the photos. and so with the food photography, when you ask about its recipe, wala din maibibigay.. haiizzt. with this tip, I will check it if they really took it themselves.. coz its nakakaduda na.. thankz
I don't know why someone downvoted this comment when in fact you are right about what you just said. I also publish photography articles but I don't do it everyday nor do I publish more than 1 photography article in a day because it's nakakaumay 😂 Just like what @Jihan said, those recipes are actually just taken on youtube and other sites. They are not authentic.
Yeah, I saw some of the recipe art articles in youtube. I gave you a youtube link remember? I told you to check the 1st three minutes. You would get how acute plagiarism is nowadays
let them downvote it, it's someone who is guilty of the act siguro.. ok lng sana ang mga photography articles but as you said not to the point na nkakaumay na.. I told someone twice to atleast give credits to the original owner when posting photos from the internet as I saw that it was all plagiarized, funny thing that someone just replied with "yes"...nkakaloka, d yata nakakaintindi kaya pati description ng mga photos ay kokonti.. unlike how we do it na full details on how and when those were taken
Oof now i think a lot pf user's reputations will go down with this but then... what they did was wrong to begin with. Though i know a few people who often claim internet photos as their own and are rather famous here too
Well it's their fault for using an image and pretending it's theirs. But the genuine photographers won't mind it for sure 😊
Well i know some isers who've been doing so though I've mostly unfollowed. I don't want to expose because it will ruin my peace here. But it would be nice if they would stop it though
Just what I said in My article before to avoid plagiarism they need to add Credit to the rightful owner or source of the photos that they uploaded. This is important so that everyone will know if where did they get the uploaded photos. It is not good to plagiarize the others works. Everyone work hard to it and then they just copied it? They should think about the hardwork of the author and the owner. 🥺
If they don't give proper credits to the owner of the photo they are clearly plagiarizing. Thanks to google team we can now check on the authenticity of those images.
You already taught me about this one on Jane short post hehe. So now if we have a doubt that the photo is not original it easy for us tp check it via google lens. Thank you fpr sharing this one. Im sure cheaters will be alarmed. Charot
Google team is doing a great job here haha. We won't be fooled by those awesome photography articles now, unless it's really genuine 😊 Yeah, I remember that i taught you about it before.
ahhhh ok. i get it now. thanks a lot po. it's help me to define who is scammer haha thanks again now i will do that eheh
hahah a lot here seems to be glad about this new feature on google chrome. Amg dami din kasi talagang scammer dito with their fake photography articles na downloaded naman sa google 😑
I often do that, especially those Photos that is unfamiliar to me, I want to know the name and the author don't have any idea about thay name of the subject. That exc tah sometimes is really not true ano, some of them has exc tag but the picture is just downloaded in googol 😑. Like someone I know, the suspect A join in the contest and got a prize with the pictures that is downloaded in googols, it's really sad. And this article is really helpful, I'm sure some here didn't know that feature, thank you for sharing 😉
I think the OC checker can only detect the words on an article not the images. So google lens is a great tool that can help us not to be deceived by those dishonest users who claims that they own a photo when in fact it is only downloaded 😑
Yeah, I think so too, or maybe because they edit the photos add a bit filter or enhanc. Tru bat sa inyo Google lens, sa akin kasi search image via Google, pero same din naman haha. So many people loke thay here, some of them is sikat pa.
Yeah there's someone here who's very popular for her photographs. But at the very start I have doubts so I don't follow her. Her articles are all about photographs and the way she speaks in english in the article is way different from the way she reply to comments. Eventually, it seems like she conned a lot of people here and took their money😑 (lol sorry for the chismis 😅)
Bat parang same tayo ng tinutukoy, yun ba yung sayo yong may mata sa name 😂. Nakakailang post pati sya sa isang araw ee, samantalang ako 1 or 2, di kaya pag tatlo, hirap mag isip ng isusulat.
I'm not sure kung parehas tayo ng tinutukoy 😅 Sabi nga ni randomrewarder nakakaduda kapag ang daming articles ang pinapublish each day.
Kaya nga, yyng iba ilang hrs lang pagitan, ang tindi haha
That is a good one. Didn't know you could search with Google Lens. But I think it is only on mobile and I am mostly a desktop user. It's much simpler than doing a reverse image search. Thanks for sharing.
I actually just found out about it few weeks ago after I updated my google chrome app and I thought that some probably doesn't know about it yet, so i decided to share it here and I'm glad that other find it really helpful. I'm not sure how it works on desktop though because that cat broke my laptop, so I can't check it 😅 Sorry for the late response to your comment.
Great. now I also can know what is real photographs and what is the fake or google download 😊
Good to know that you find this article helpful.
Ooo this is a good one. I have wondering about this. Always a big question on how to determine if a photo or an art has been plagarized. Thank you for sharing. Now, off to download Google Lens :)
I'm happy to know that you find this helpful. And thanks for the paid upvote 😉
A lot of love has been shared with us by writing a captivating one. This is a useful post. I also do photography myself. You will love again.
Thank you for considering this a good writing and thanks for dropping by.
