Yes, as Bouteloua mentioned it was originally posted for [selling photos from inaturalist](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/website-selling-photos-from-inaturalist/2814/13)

Some members had concerns of various Websites stealing their photos for profit. I made mentions of such tool available for public such as the _Google Reverse Image Search_ in the comment. Simplifying the process of searching your images via Google engine through an automated process would make things easier. It’ll be very time consuming to do this manually if a person has thousands of observations.
