How to find the original source on social media from a photo you dont know where it came from?

[Anonymous]

I saw a photo on FB that I want to trace where it orginally came from. The photo came from someone else not the one who posted on FB. I had traced and looked for # on IG and try to look it up on X and nothing yet just by writing the name of the person in the photo I dont really know where the person who post the phot on theri account on FB found it. Is there a way to trace the original source of a photo?

I mean I only have the photo and the name of the person on the photo, who is a public figure but even if it is a public figure, I can't trace the photo back to the original source, I had tried to trace it and no luck yet.

I dont have link or anything else just the photo. For example that I found the source from the IG account called "XXXX") or the source on X or FB account called "XXXX". This is the actor Chris Pine but that particular photo Im not able to find it by tracing # on IG or with his name on X so how can I find the original account that has that photo? IG, FB, X or where?

Thanks

You are looking for something called a Reverse image search. If you throw that into google you should get a dozen (free) websites that does it for you. From there copy and paste the image and search. It is entirely possible an AI can do that now but I'd try just the oldschool way first.

I had done it but it throw me other type of photos not this one in particular. But I believe now, that photo is photoshpped or edited or done with AI
