Find an image by describing what you remember

Usage example

Search for a photo or scene by what appears in it, even when you cannot remember its file, folder or shoot.

You remember a photo of two people beside a window, with a green wall behind them. It could work for a new proposal, but you cannot recall its name or which shoot it came from.

Start with the details you remember

Type “two people talking beside a window, green wall” into Polimake. Review the candidates. If the search is too broad, add a visible detail or narrow it to the project you think contains the photo.

You do not need to guess an exact tag. Try another description: “informal meeting with natural light”. For a recording, search for the scene and review matching moments inside the video.

Check the file before using it

Open the candidate and review its project, resolution and context. If you need to identify someone, confirm who they are. Visual similarity alone does not establish identity or usage permission.

Result

The image you were looking for and a selection of alternatives for your proposal. From there, prepare article images or build a moodboard.

If you remember the project but need to distinguish versions, see recovering campaign material.
