Where is thisviral video from?
A clip reached you through a repost — a TikTok, a Facebook reel, a forwarded WhatsApp video. We search its frames across the web and list the other pages carrying the same footage: often a longer cut, the channel that posts the full thing, or news coverage with the context. $0.90 a search, free to scan.
- Upload the file to cover the whole clip — a pasted link covers only the first ~5 seconds.
- Every match is labelled exact or visually similar, with how many frames agree.
- You open the pages and compare them yourself. We never guess which came first.
A link checks the first ~5 seconds. To check the whole video, upload the file.

Past the repost, to the pages with the footage.
Give us the clip
Save the video and upload it, or paste the link. Uploading covers the whole clip; a link only covers its first ~5 seconds.
We search its frames
We pick the most distinctive frames and search them visually across the web. Reposts with new captions, crops or borders still match.
Compare what comes back
Each page is marked exact or visually similar. An exact match on several frames is the one to open first — look for a longer cut, a full upload or an article.
One clip, one search. No plan.
You want to know where one video came from, once. A monthly subscription is the wrong shape for that.
$0.90 a search, a balance that never expires, and if a search finds nothing you get half back.

Straight answers.
Viral clips are widely shared, so the free scan usually shows plenty of matches before you pay.

Upload the clip, or paste its link. We search its distinctive frames across the web and list the pages carrying the same footage — often a longer version, the account that posts the full thing, or news coverage. Open them and compare to work out the context.
Will it give me the original?
It gives you the pages that carry the same footage, and you compare them. The first upload is sometimes among the matches, but we do not rank by date or name one as the original.
Why do some results look similar but are a different video?
Viral clips are often visually generic — a dance, a car, a crowd. So results can include lookalikes. Each match is labelled exact or visually similar, with how many frames agree. An exact match on several frames is the one to trust.
Should I paste the link or upload the file?
Upload the file if you can. A pasted link only downloads the first ~5 seconds, so a longer clip is better covered by the file itself (up to 100 MB and 1 hour).
Why did it find nothing?
We only see public pages that search engines have indexed. Private accounts, deleted posts and very fresh uploads can be missing. If a search finds nothing, you get half its price back.
