How To Do A Quick Reverse Image Search?

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had a picture and were wondering where it came from? If yes, Google reverse image search capability can turn out to be a useful feature for you. The only issue is that even though this feature has been in existence for a long time, users have found it difficult to utilize. If you are struggling to figure out the best method to use it, take a look at this detailed guide.

How To Do Google Reverse Image Search From Desktop?

If you are using the Google Chrome browser, the process is going to be a breeze for you. Click on the image you want more information on and select “Search Google for image.” If you are using Firefox, you have to install an extension to use this feature. Alternatively, you can log on to images.google.com and select the camera icon. You can either enter the URL of the image you wish to search or upload a picture from your computer. 

If you are searching for an image that you came across online, right click on it and select the ‘Copy Image Address’ to enter the URL in the images.google.com box.

How To Do Google Reverse Image Search From Mobile?

If you are using Google Chrome, this process is as simple as it is on desktop. All you need to do is tap the image, hold it for a while and select the “Search Google for This Image” option.

But if you are not using Google Chrome on mobile and the images.google.com don’t show the camera icon next to the search box, you have to adopt a different way to look for the image. If you are looking for the source of image you found online instead of the one you took yourself, tap on the image and hold for a while. Then select ‘copy’ from the pop-up menu.

Paste the copied part in the search box after opening images.google.com. The URL of the image will show up along with some formatting junk. Clear everything except the base URL of the image and then perform the search. In the search results, click on “search by image.”

If you are looking for a simpler alternative, reverse.photos is a platform that automatically passes your upload through Google’s reverse image search.

Are You Looking For a Non-Google Option For Mobile?

For some people, it is usually a neck to neck when it comes to Google vs bing. But in this case, Bing triumphs Googe in terms of reverse image search. Click on the camera icon in the search bar after opening bing.com/images and take a picture.

Before that, you have to agree to Microsoft taking a look at the pictures that you are searching for.
