Hi,

I have 100 images I just removed all exif data but while reverse searching on google show the original image !!

Any good way to make it unique so it does not show source on reverse search?

Thanks
 
You can do that with a robots.txt file. Place the following robots.txt file in your server root:

Code:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
 
I mean not with website

I want the images to be unique and does not appear on reverse search in google when I gave them to people

Sorry mate I don't understand what are you trying to do, give us more information. Those 100 images are all yours and unique or they're stolen from other websites?
 
Dude I have 100 pics scraped from internet (not stock pics) for client, I want to make it unique so it cannot be found on using google reverse search

Ah so what he wants. He's using someone else's images and is infringing on them. He doesn't want to get caught so he wants to change it so when they reverse Google Image search for the original image, their image can't be found.

I think you can't fully hide the images. Google uses pattern recognition and advanced "deep learning" technology for their reverse image search. Even if you delete the metadata of the images, they can still find it.

i Believe this is the case the only way to hide the images is too distorted them to a point that they wont be recognized by the system, but at that point they are useless.

i think even a partial photo can be traced to the full pic.
 
Rename, crop 1px, optimize it, and you almost everytime block reverse tracking, that's the way I do it. Works 99.9% of the time..

With their pattern/face recognition techonogly they can even trace a photo to a full name of the person on the photo, haha.

Try to reverse search this meme:

I removed exif, cropped 20%, renamed but still google detects ;)
 
Put up cheessy filters all over, resize to change ratios, crop a bit, and reverse search wont find a thing.
 
Ok, strange works for me most of the times .. Hmm ..
Well he probably posted the image once where it cropped and it recognized it and now he changed it but it hasn't been indexed.

He probably just has to wait for Google to recrawl it

Not exactly ........what I mean is google reverse search image algorithm is fantastic, it can detect the image even its modified

your going mad , all images have a tag id , once the image is altered the tag id chages .

google can only use tag id .

where the hell you get your info from...

google can not detect image structure yet , it comming but it not here!

are you in the future!

there might be a beta ai image scanner but it not been relised yet ....

Image recognition is very much the present for quite some time now, it's not just their reverse image search, but stuff like their Cloud Vision API, which can classify images into thousands of categories (such as, “sailboat”), detect individual objects and faces within images, and read printed words contained within images. Or another example: Google Streetview, when there's a person on the street view pic, the face is always blurred. This is done automatically by using image recognition, face detection. If you search for this on Google, you can find out that Google started doing this more than 10 years ago with street views of Manhattan. Mind blown, more than years ago. Or the mobile Google Translate app, if you take a picture, which has text on it, the app can detect the text and translate it, the detection is also done by image recognition, OCR. Or the Google Captcha, or the discontinued Google Shopper app....We're living in the future. :)

You don't have to believe me, just try the Google reverse image search yourself. Select any picture on the web, which is indexed on Google and don't change anything, but the image hash. Google will return with the correct result 100 out of 100 times.
 
Open image in Photoshop:
  1. Crop image
  2. Warp image
  3. Mirror flip image
  4. Change color balance/hue
  5. Add pattern overlay with low opacity
Worked for me.

EDIT:
Just realized this is an old thread..
Necessary bump on a thread from 2017?
