How to use reverse image search tools to find any product on the Cnfans spreadsheet by image — AstroReps, Google, and other visual search methods explained.
Why Use Reverse Image Search for W2C?
Reverse image search is the fastest way to identify a product you have seen on social media, in a YouTube haul, or in a community post and want to find on the Cnfans spreadsheet. Instead of trying to describe the product in text and searching for it, you upload the image and let visual AI match it against the product database.
This is particularly useful for shoes and clothing where colorways are difficult to describe accurately. A "grey and orange trainer" could match hundreds of listings — but a photo of it narrows it down to an exact style code within seconds.
Using AstroReps Image Search
AstroReps offers a dedicated product image search tool designed specifically for W2C buyers. Accessible via the "Search by Image" button in the Cnfans spreadsheet hero section, it allows you to upload any photo and find matching Weidian product listings instantly.
To use it: click "Search by Image" in the spreadsheet hero, upload your target image, and AstroReps will return a list of matching listings with Weidian IDs. You can then use those Weidian IDs to search directly on this spreadsheet site, or paste them into your preferred agent platform.

Google Lens and Other Visual Search Tools
Google Lens is a broadly useful reverse image search tool that works well for identifying brand and model of a shoe or piece of clothing. While it does not search Weidian databases directly, it often returns authentic product pages, which give you the correct model name and style code. Once you have the style code (e.g., "DD1391-100" for a specific Nike Dunk Low), search for it on this spreadsheet site.
Pinterest visual search and Yandex Image Search can also be effective, particularly for fashion items. Yandex is especially good at matching product photos against Chinese e-commerce databases, sometimes returning direct Taobao or Weidian links.
Pro Tip
Screenshot social media posts and crop to just the product before uploading to visual search. Removing background context significantly improves match accuracy.
Summary
Reverse image search, particularly via the AstroReps tool linked in the Cnfans spreadsheet hero, dramatically speeds up product discovery. Combine it with style-code text search on this site for the most efficient W2C workflow in 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, AstroReps image search is accessible without an account for basic searches. A free account unlocks additional features like saved searches and history.
Clear, well-lit product photos on a clean background produce the best results. JPG and PNG both work. Avoid using low-resolution or heavily filtered images as they reduce match accuracy.
If image search fails, try searching by the style code or colorway name on the Cnfans spreadsheet. You can also post the image in the Cnfans Discord community for member help.
