Ximilar Visual Search
Brno, Czech Republic
What it is
Ximilar Visual Search uses AI-powered vector search to find visually similar images in an image collection. It indexes visual descriptors for similarity searches across millions of images and supports metadata filtering. Collections can receive images through the API using a URL or Base64 data, with up to 10 records accepted per request. Search operations include visual search, multi-image queries, similarity ranking, and object detection followed by similarity search. Described uses include reverse image search, searching by photo, recommending similar products or graphics, and matching images across collections. The service is accessible through an API and a web platform for integration with existing systems. It supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, BMP, TIFF, and JFIF, plus GIF with first-frame-only support. The free plan costs nothing and includes one collection of up to 1,000 images. Paid plans start at $69/mo; professional plans list 10 collections and unlimited collection size. Monthly API credits expire at the period’s end, while separately purchased credit packs do not expire.
