How to Search by Image Using Google Image Search on a Phone or Tablet

By uploading an image to a search engine like Google Image Search, TinEye, or Bing Visual Search, this TechPad teaches you how to search the internet. When you search by image, you can see where the image appears online and look for images that are visually similar to one another.

1. Open Google Chrome. The Google Chrome mobile app comes with a tool that lets you search for any image online using Google Image Search. If you don't have Chrome, you'll need to download it for free from the App Store or Play Store.

• If the image you want to search for is saved to your phone or tablet, you'll need to use http://reverse.photos, a site that lets you upload your image to Google Image Search. Navigate to that site, tap UPLOAD, select your image, and then tap SHOW MATCHES.

• Open a web page with an image you want to search for. You can search for any image by typing keywords into the search bar, or navigate directly to your desired website.
• Tap and hold the image. A context menu will appear.
• Tap Search Google for this Image. This opens a new Chrome tab that displays Google Image Search results for the selected image.
  • This option won't appear if you tap and hold on a preview of a photo from a Google search. Click on the preview to expand it first, then tap and hold to search from a photo on Google.
• 1. Browse the results. The image's details will appear at the top of the page, and all potential matches will appear below. If the exact image is not found, images that are visually similar will appear.
