Same Energy
A visual search engine: drop an image and get images that feel like it, with a Creative Commons mode
Same Energy searches by feeling rather than by word. You drop one or more images onto the page and it returns images with the same visual character. There is no keyword step. The licence handling is the part that matters for real work. A separate mode restricts results to Creative Commons images, specifically CC-BY, which can be used in commercial and non-commercial work as long as you attribute. Right click or long press on any image and the licence and the creator appear. Results are gathered into Collections. An account is needed to save them. The site is a client-rendered shell of about 16 KB, and it publishes no llms.txt and no sitemap.
Turn on the Creative Commons mode before you gather anything for a client. It limits results to CC-BY, which is usable commercially with attribution, and the licence and creator are one right click away on every image. Use it when the brief is a mood and not a noun. Dropping a reference image is the whole interaction, so it answers "more like this" where a keyword gallery cannot. Send a person. The page is a 16 KB client-rendered shell with no API, no llms.txt and no sitemap, so an agent cannot run a search here.
Why it is here. Searching by image rather than by keyword is the natural way to look for a mood, and the Creative Commons filter makes the result usable rather than merely inspiring.
- search by dropping an image, not by keyword
- Creative Commons mode limited to CC-BY
- licence and creator shown on each image

Verified 2026-08-30. HTTP 200. https://same.energy/ 200, 16 KB client-rendered; title "Same Energy | Visual Search Engine"; the page reads "Drop image(s) anywhere", "Press to search for Creative Commons images (specifically, CC-BY). These images can be used for free in both commercial and non-commercial work, provided you give attribution.", "Right click or long press on an image to see information about the license and the creator." and "Upload an image to search."; the navigation holds Home, About, Settings, "Give feedback" and Collections, with a Log in control. /llms.txt and /sitemap.xml both 404, and /llms.txt returns the same body as a nonsense path.
