Do you remember what life was like without Google? Probably not anymore. We have arranged to get the answer to everything in an instant with a simple search. For some this is synonymous with laziness, and for others evolution. The point is that thanks to the big «G» we can have all the information we need with a simple search. Google makes things much easier for us. But Did you know that you can also search with images?

We do not mean that you can search images on Google. This is one of the most common options that the search engine usually offers us. We talk about search for content using a photo or image. Google's algorithm processes it and performs a search in its "infinite" database. Today we explain how to do Google searches with an image.

You can do a Google search with an images

Well that, if you still did not know, our most global search engine allows search using a photo. A tool that can help us in many and very diverse situations. We we have done a very graphic test. With an image of a classic car what do we have on the computer we wanted to know what specific model it is. Using photography, Google offers us all the data and offers us, as if we were doing a normal search, related pages and results.

Finding the model, and also the year of manufacture of a car is just one example. Too we can use image search Google to know the name of an actor, or hopefully, to know who is that person we have seen on Facebook. Or even with a building or monument, to know what's your name and what city is it in. As we see many options available using just one image.

So you can do a Google search with an image

So that you can use this tool that Google offers us, we are going to explain to you step by step how to do it:

1- Enter Google (logical, right?)

2- In the Right upper cornerNext to the image of our user account we find the "squares" to use the different Google applications. Next to it we find «Gmail» and «Images». Click on images.

selection search images

3- By clicking on «images» the Google format changes, and next to the search bar we find a photo camera icon. We must click on that icon (search by image).

4- Now we find two options for image search. We will can directly paste the url of the image or upload from our team the photo on which we want to search. We choose the option «upload image» and click on select file. From our computer we select the photo on which we want to obtain information and this will be uploaded to the search engine to perform the search (forgive the redundancy).

6- Finally, as we said, we get the search results with image. We see the information we wanted and we can interact with the browser by accessing what is not most interesting.

7- Exists another alternative google search option with images that we can use starting from step number 2. With the image search interface on the screen in which we have to see the icon of the photo camera, we can drag the desired image to the Google search bar. When released, the search is performed automatically. We have saved this option for last because, although it is simpler, the results obtained are much less reliable. The reason is that search is based on address from where we select the image, and it is taken into account for her too the name that we have given to the file.
