how can i take one of my instagram pictures and see if anyone is using them?

[elizabeth]

i have over 13,500 followers on instagram. im a teenage blonde girl so i know that somebody has gotta be using my pictures and making fake accounts, i just dont know how to find out. ive tried the google image search, i went on instagram and went to one of my pictures and saved it then dragged it into the image search but it said it has to be a certain format. so how do i do it?! thank you!

Use the reverse image search tineye.com

If you are so concerned about your images being used elsewhere wouldn't the sensible option be to stop posting your photos online...?

Glad to see you have such a high opinion of yourself...and having over 13,500 followers on instagram means absolutely nothing. Don't for a minute think it means you can take a decent photograph.

Anyway, if you seriously believe that someone's going to steal a photo from Instagram (and you might not know this, but every time you upload a photo there, you're essentially giving Instagram the right to do more or less what they want with it - check their user policy) then you could use a Firefox extension called "who stole my pictures"?

It's a few years old now but I imagine it still works. It combs various websites and tries to find out if anyone's posted a picture matching yours.

It will probably want the photo in .jpg format. But then again the average instagram user has probably no idea of what .jpg even means...

Photos of teenage blondes are 10 a penny if not 1000 a penny. What makes you so sure anybody would steal yours?

I think you are being paranoid
