Weidian Search is an image-based product discovery tool that lets users find items by uploading a photo, returning visually similar listings across Weidian’s marketplace. It combines image recognition with product metadata to surface matches, price ranges, and seller details, simplifying shopping for obscure or hard-to-describe goods. Ideal for users who want to identify fashion items, accessories, home goods, or unique secondhand finds quickly without typing detailed queries.
Many Weidian sellers steal images from each other. By using "Weidian Search Image," you can find every seller listing the exact same batch of sneakers or handbag. This allows you to compare prices instantly and identify the cheapest source for the same factory batch.

For fashion resellers, Weidian Search Image is the holy grail. If you see a pair of Nike Dunks on Instagram, you can screenshot the shoe, run an image search on Weidian, and find the rep version in under 10 seconds.
Once your image results load, use the filter function to sort by "Lowest Price." This reveals the true wholesale cost. Often, the first results are high-markup stores reselling from lower-tier sellers. The image search finds the product; the price filter finds the factory. The Scenario: You image search a specific jacket
Master the image search, and you master Weidian.
