Capabilities

Four building blocks that turn a shopper's photo into the right products.

Image-to-Image Similarity Search

Upload or capture a product photo and return the closest visual matches from your catalog, ranked by similarity in color, shape, pattern, and style.

Text-to-Image and Cross-Modal Search

Combine an image with text filters, like category, price range, or size, so results narrow by both what the image shows and what the shopper actually wants.

Multi-Item and Attribute Detection

Detect multiple products within a single image and extract attributes like material, print, silhouette, and design details for finer-grained matching.

Embedding-Based Architecture

Product images are converted into vector embeddings and indexed for fast retrieval, the same approach used for image and text similarity search in modern multimodal systems.

Use Cases

Aarvexa's custom visual search solutions are tailored for platforms requiring precise image-to-image matching capabilities.

Ecommerce and retail

Shoppers upload a photo, a screenshot, or a picture from a magazine and get matched to visually similar products in your catalog instead of guessing at search terms.

Digital asset management

Search large image or media libraries by visual reference instead of relying entirely on filenames, folders, or manually entered tags.

Fashion and furniture

Match clothing, footwear, accessories, and home décor by print, silhouette, material, and style from a single reference photo.

Stock and creative libraries

Locate visually similar assets across large creative libraries without depending on how thoroughly each image was tagged.

Key Metrics for Visual Search Success

Ensure your visual search solution drives real business value with these measurable outcomes:

Conversion Rate

The share of shoppers who use visual search and go on to purchase, compared against text-search and browse-only conversion.

Revenue per session

Total revenue from sessions that included at least one visual search query, divided by the number of those sessions.

Adoption Rate

The share of users who try visual search at all. Low adoption usually points to a discoverability problem, like a buried search icon.

FAQ

A visual search API lets shoppers search with a photo instead of keywords. It converts the image into a vector embedding and returns the closest visual matches from your own product catalog.

A plugin uses a generic product taxonomy and is tied to specific platforms. A custom build is trained on your categories, attributes and naming, benchmarked on your real images, and deploys to any storefront, app or internal system.
