Reverse Image Search: How to Checklist

Reverse image search finds where the image appears on the web, enabling you to find the original source of an image or identify where your image appears on the web.

The reverse image is a lot like the normal keyword search, but instead of using words/keywords, you get to search for images instead, which is pretty cool.
The search results give you details of the image sizes, description, and the exact pages with links where you can find them.
This can be extremely useful in finding out facts about the image, and copyright status and tracking copyright violations on your intellectual property, allowing you to identify if other people are using it.
This can be done on Google, Bing, or any major search engine.
