The TinEye browser plugin is the fastest way to search for web images right from your Firefox or IE browser.

With the plugin installed, simply right-click on any web image and select 'Search Image on TinEye'.

Firefox

The plugin will show up in the Firefox Add-ons window as 'TinEye Image Search'
Restart Firefox to complete your changes

Internet Explorer

How to install

Click the 'Install the TinEye plugin for IE' link above, then select 'Run' from the File Download window
When asked 'Do you want to run this software?', select 'Run'
The installer will finish without displaying any message
Restart IE

Notes:

If you would like the plugin to open your TinEye search results in a new IE tab rather than a new IE window, go to IE Tools > Internet Options > General > Settings, then choose "Always open pop-ups in a new tab" and click OK.

IE8 users must enable the "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" security option to run the TinEye plugin. In the IE8 browser, go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Security, then check "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" and restart the browser.

How to remove

From the Windows Control Panel, select 'Add or Remove Programs' (Windows XP) or 'Uninstall a program' (Vista)
