(METHOD) How to Make Images Unique, Perfect for Social Networks!

Normally I use HashManager for this.

the script didn't work !!!!!

 

[eaglesWTF]

Maybe anyone have automated solution for this?
Like some program to input 100 unique images and to output 10,000 uniques?

I'm sorry it didn't work. I don't have the time to write a 1000 line rehasher right now. Check out @Desolairs solution for an easier method, I've posted it below. My method is meant to be used for hundreds or thousands of files and be intregrated into a larger program, it's not exactly noob friendly.

Anybody who is doing this, note that MANY image hosts delete extra characters at the end of a file on upload. This means that two files with different hashes could become the same again if they are stripped of extra data and then uploaded.

can you rehash them by resize them for -+1% ?

Thanks OP everything worked for me! So once we have the copies of the picture can we rename the picture to whatever we want? I'm wondering because having the image file saved and uploaded as your keywords will give some SEO boost...

 

[juanpopo]

what I usually do is flip it and change the file name, works good for me

Yes,

Most likely. File name is independent of MD5 hash. It may not be independent of other hashes. Even then, you could put your keywords in your images and just make the names unique along with that.

Hi Noah,

I took your bat file and made revisions but i can only make it work when the image names are numbers. i did this because i only use the images for making social media accounts, so one for every image is okay for me.

Just wanted to clarify, i checked on the file size bytes and they are different.
Does that make it unique and it will not be detected as a duplicate image anymore?

TITLE IMAGE REHASHER
COLOR 0A

set a=1
set filename=1

:loop
if not exist %filename%.jpg goto :close

:run
copy %filename%.jpg pic%a%.jpg
echo -n ' ' >> pic%a%.jpg
set /A a=a+1
set /A filename=filename+1
goto :loop

:close
close

Yes, if they're different sizes then they will have different hashes. However, I recently found out that many social networks strip off the "garbage data" that I add on to the end of the file during the upload. This may make all files that have been rehashed using this method regress back to the original hash, making them the same again.

I built another tool that changes 1 random pixel in an image to 1 random color. That method is WAY better and more future-proof than this. Here is the link to the instructions (7th post in the thread): http://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/how-can-i-automate-this-super-simple-task.867107

For this task i use a very simple shell script that i wrote. the script resizes all the files in a folder to 99.9% using imagemagick.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
for file in `ls .`; do
  echo $file
  convert $file -resize 99.9% r$file
done

Hi, i tried this last night as i was going crazy revising your bat file. But the thing is, i need to have multiple images to be rehashed (more than a hundred).
is it possible on your image rehasher?

I have also tried using the HashManager and seems to be going good. Any thoughts on this program?

if my understanding is correct, i see that on your bat, you change a pixel on the image.
on the HashManager on the other hand, i dont know how the file is being changed.

the GUI hash managers that I've used mainly add garbage data at the end of the file just like my script does. The script being discussed in this thread is not the one that changes one pixel. That one is in the link I sent you.

This one can support hundreds of images, but again, the newer one with the pixel method is better.

Do someone know if this works for google too? If I put an image from ggogle and then I put the image on my site, will the image be unique on google and not available through a reverse search?

You can always search for the image before putting it on your site.

But no, this is not good to fool Google or any other site, which uses image recognition. The image isn't changing visually with this method. This method is only good on sites, which use the MD5 checksum to identify images. But this was explained by the OP too.

Instead you can try flipping the image horizontally, that should do the trick in most cases.
