How to do a Google image search on your phone or computer

One of Google's great features is reverse search, which allows you to use images to perform searches. While this capability only existed in the desktop version of the search engine, one developer created a tool that also covers mobile devices. Currently, image search can also be performed using the Google application. See search by application and browser.

Search by image on the cell phone in the Google app.

To search for images on an Android smartphone, the easiest way is through the Google app (attention, because it's not Chrome, okay?):

1. Open the Google app and click on the 'Discover' tab in the bottom menu;
2. In the search bar, click on the camera symbol, called Google Lens;
3. If you are using the feature for the first time, you will need to allow the app to access your camera and photo gallery;
4. Now, you can choose to take a photo of an object and search or choose a photo from your device's photo gallery:

Select the area of the image you want to use in the search to see more specific results. For example, to search specifically for the dog, I can select it on the ball, which will then turn blue. Another option to search only a part of the image is to make the selection in the magnifying glass tool.

or search for an image on Google through the browser on the smartphone.

Ideal for those who do not have the Google app installed or who do not use Android. The way is as follows:

1. Access this page;
2. Tap "Upload."
3. Select a photo from your phone's gallery and tap "Done";
4. Wait for the result and tap "Show matches";
5. Ready!

You will see the reverse Google image search result on your mobile screen. The tool works on Android and iOS. It was created by Amit Agarwal, head of the Digital Inspiration blog.

Or do the photo search on the computer.

To search for images on Google through the browser on the putador, the way is as follows:

1. Go to the Google Images home page;
2. Click on a camera icon ("Search by image");
3. You can paste the URL of an image or upload it from your PC. In this case, click on "Send an image" and then on "Choose file";
