It is very likely that on some occasion you want or need make use of reverse image search on Google. This method is designed so that you can search for a photo that is the same or similar to one you have or one that you have already found. It is presented as a function of great interest to users, but not everyone knows how to use it.
Therefore, below we show you how can we use this function in google. In this way, if you need to find a specific photo, but in a different size or you are looking for similar photos for some reason, it will be very simple to be able to access them with this function.
When using reverse lookup, we have several options available. We can upload the reference photo from the computer, in case we already have it. Although there is also the possibility of using the URL of a web page, so that is the photo that we have to use in this sense. Both options are equally valid in this case.
Reverse Google Photos Search
The first thing we are going to have to do in our case is go to the Google image search engine. This is something we can do by entering their website, or by clicking on the word images that you will see above on the main page of the search engine, any of the options will give us input in this case. Once we are in Google Images, we have to make use of the option Search by images, for which we have to click on the icon of a camera.
Then we already have access to this section of the Reverse Search. In the first step, we are going to be asked which image we want to use as a reference to find similar photos. As we have mentioned above, we can use two methods for this, we can upload a photo that we have on our computer directly, or if we do not have that photo, we can enter the URL of a photo that we have seen and want to use in this case. We choose a method and then we give it to Search by image, which is the text displayed on the blue button.
So, Google is going to show us the search results in this case. The first thing we will see, in the upper part, is the image that we have uploaded in this case, together with a text that the search engine considers is the one that accompanies the search for this word. This text is in many cases something incorrect, so do not give it too much importance. We can see that you see a table with similar images, in addition to some pages that have used the photo you have uploaded, if there were any in this case.
If you click on the tools button, located in the upper right, you will have access to a small menu. This menu will allow us to customize or adjust this search Google a little more, so that we can find results that fit better. It allows us to make use of two options, which are Search by image and date. The first one will let us choose the type of search, in case we want to search for the same specific photo or if we are interested in images related to the one we have uploaded in our specific case.
While the date option will allow us better determine or choose the age of photos we want to look for in this case. Because it may be the case that you are looking for something very recent, so you can determine the period of time you want to use, among various options that Google gives us, or bet on a custom interval in this case. In this way, the search will be personalized at all times and we will be able to find the results that best suit what we are looking for in this particular case.
