Good alternatives to Google images for finding pictures

Recently it was announced that Google will remove the “View Image” button on Google Images, and you might be looking for a more convenient alternative to find images on the web. Site owners have complained that people can download images from their sites without even visiting the site and view it in its context. It's of course not that hard to just get the images anyway but it makes it a bit less convenient. Anyway, here is a list of some good alternatives to Google Images. Of course, you can always have a look at our complete community-generated list of Google Images alternatives as well!

Image Search Engines

I use image search engines a lot. I have used all of these hundred if not thousands of times, because I'm an image hoarder and I like everything to be organized. So I need to know the source of everything.

What is SauceNAO?

SauceNAO is a reverse image search engine. The name 'SauceNAO' is derived from a slang form of "Need to know the source of this Now!" which has found common usage on image boards and other similar sites.

The search functionality of SauceNAO was first made public in October 2008 to help fill the need for a useful and efficient way to find information on the source of scanned magazine pages. The original index was a mere twenty-thousand pages... Since its inception SauceNAO has grown substantially, indexing more traditional illustrations and even full length video.

With the assistance of piespy from the IQDB project, SauceNAO was designed and implemented by Xamayon. It is still very much a work in progress, constantly being modified, reshaped, and expanded. As such, some features are not fully fleshed out, and others may at times seem broken. For the most part though, the site just works. ;P
