Pixolu: Search for Similar Images Using an Image

In case you are confused after reading the title, that is what exactly Pixolu does. It’s an image search engine which lets you go deeper into the mechanism of image search and lets you find more relevant images using the image results it displays the first time you search. It uses Google, Flickr and Yahoo as the underlying image search engines.

search images with an image

How it works

  • Enter your search query and select the number of images you want to be displayed using the slider.
  • Drag and drop the pictures you like into the right box.
  • Hit the next button to get better images.

On the right hand side it also displays the url, size and the source of the image.
