Want to find the face of someone famous?

It's available a new feature for filtering and refining your images search with Seekky.

When conducting a search, take a look at the filter line to check the advanced search options available:



There are three filtering options that you can use simultaneously:

• Size filtering: Select the images according to their size, so you can choose from images for your desktop wallpaper with extra large size option, to small pictures to use as icons.


• Content filtering: You can narrow your search to show only images that contain the face of the person you're looking for.


• Color filtering: Lets you search for images in black and white, grayscale or full color.

With this new feature, you can get Leonardo da Vinci images as usual, or images with the face of Leonardo da Vinci in grayscale.

For children entertainment, you can also try searching images of Mickey Mouse in black and white to colorize...
