Is TinEye Reverse Image Search safe?

Clean risk

Searches TinEye for where a web image appears and related versions.

This extension adds a right-click option to search an image on TinEye and view results on TinEye.com. It can help show where an image came from, where it is used online, whether higher-resolution copies exist, and other TinEye reverse image search results. Options let you choose how results open and how they are initially sorted.
