Snopix adds reverse-image search to your WordPress site. Visitors drop an\nimage onto the search widget and the plugin returns the most visually similar\nimages already in your media library - ranked by a composite score that looks\nat overall structure, colour palette, and edge patterns all at once.<\/p>\n\n
The same fingerprints power a Duplicates<\/strong> tab in the admin: it clusters\nnear-identical attachments so you can keep one copy and bulk-delete the rest.<\/p>\n\n Place a search widget on any page using the Default card layout<\/strong> - framed widget, good for a standalone search page:\n [snopix_search]<\/p>\n\n Inline layout<\/strong> - borderless, flows naturally with your page content:\n [snopix_search variant=\"inline\"]<\/p>\n\n Narrow layout<\/strong> - compact single column, fits a sidebar or tight layout:\n [snopix_search variant=\"narrow\" max_results=\"6\"]<\/p>\n\n Custom title and more results:<\/strong>\n [snopix_search title=\"Find similar products\" max_results=\"24\"]<\/p>\n\n Card with a custom prompt and result cap:<\/strong>\n [snopix_search variant=\"card\" title=\"Reverse Image Search\" max_results=\"16\"]<\/p>\n\n Optional attributes:<\/p>\n\n The block editor also exposes these options via a Snopix Search<\/strong> panel on\nthe core Shortcode<\/strong> block, so you can configure the widget without typing\nthe shortcode manually.<\/p>\n\n By default the search endpoint is open to all visitors. Restrict it to\nlogged-in users only from the Settings<\/strong> tab in Media \u2192 Snopix<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n The dashboard includes a drag-and-drop search panel that lets admins test\nreverse-image search directly from the media library page without publishing a\nshortcode anywhere.<\/p>\n\n The Duplicates<\/strong> tab scans your indexed images against each other and groups\nnear-identical files. Each group shows the images side by side with a \"keep\"\nselector. Delete all duplicates in a group with one click, or use the global\nDelete all duplicates<\/strong> button to clean everything at once.<\/p>\n\n New uploads are fingerprinted automatically on save. Existing images are\nindexed in the background via WP-Cron in batches, so large libraries\n(10 000+ images) can be indexed without hitting PHP time limits.<\/p>\n\n JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP.<\/p>\n\n Snopix creates one custom table ( Snopix is functional, but search ranking, duplicate detection and the\nthreshold tuning may be less accurate than expected. You may see occasional\nfalse positives or miss visually-similar images depending on your media\nlibrary. Please report anything that looks off.<\/p>\n\n\n JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP. Other types (SVG, HEIC, AVIF, TIFF) are\nrejected at both the upload and search endpoints.<\/p><\/dd>\n Add For a sidebar, use Yes. Go to Media \u2192 Snopix \u2192 Settings<\/strong> and set Search visibility<\/strong> to\nLogged-in users only<\/strong>. The REST endpoint and the frontend widget both\nenforce the same rule.<\/p><\/dd>\n The fingerprint table is compact (one row per image). The bulk indexer runs in\nchained WP-Cron batches, so it will not time out regardless of library size,\nthough indexing 10 000+ images takes several minutes.<\/p><\/dd>\n The indexer reads raw bytes via PHP-GD. If your offload plugin keeps a local\ncopy until indexing is done, you are fine. If files are removed from the local\nfilesystem before the indexer runs, those images are skipped.<\/p><\/dd>\n The composite score combines perceptual hash, colour histogram, and edge\nhistogram (weights 0.40 \/ 0.35 \/ 0.25). Format conversions, resizes, and JPEG\nrecompression are typically recovered with >0.95 similarity. Heavy blur,\nextreme downscale, or noise corruption may score near the threshold and\noccasionally not rank first. Tuning is ongoing.<\/p><\/dd>\n Search matches a probe image (something you upload) against the indexed\nlibrary. Duplicate detection clusters the indexed images against each other\nto find pairs or groups that are already near-identical, without needing an\nexternal probe.<\/p><\/dd>\n Snopix is built for single-site installs. It creates one\n {prefix}snopix_index table per site and is not network-activation aware.\nActivate it per-site rather than network-wide.<\/p><\/dd>\n Deactivate and delete the plugin. By default your index is kept on uninstall.\nTo remove all plugin data - index table, options, transients, scheduled cron\nevents, and per-user meta - enable Drop data on uninstall<\/strong> in the Settings\ntab before deleting the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nFrontend search widget<\/h4>\n\n
