You have an image. You want to find out where it comes from.

Is there a tool that does this?

In the most generic sense, I'd bet there is not.

However, if it is an image on the web, and you right click on it, and select "copy link location," then paste what you captured into a word processor, you can at least get the url where the image is located. That will sometimes give you a meaningful image source location. I'm sure you already know this, though.

These days, this hardly works, since you will more likely just get some image bucket or tinypic link. Pity, this technique used to work well enough that I tracked lots of images to their source. It rarely works these days.

You upload the photo you have, it finds other instances of it. This is particularly useful if you have a small version and want to find the biggest version possible.
