Fake posts often change the meaning of an image in order to spread misinformation on a person or an event.

At AFP, we use reverse images searches to find where and how an image has been used in the past.

In this video, we show you how to do a reverse image search to find the source of an image.

This tutorial is based on a digital investigation published on AFP Fact Check's French language site, Factuel. Read the full article here: https://factuel.afp.com/doc.afp.com.32DD2MZ (use your browser's translate function if you don't read French)
