How do I reverse image search in Google Images?

To conduct a reverse image search using Google Images, follow these steps:

On Desktop Computers:

  1. Visit Google Images at images.google.com.

  2. Either click "Search by image" icon or look for the camera icon labeled "Search by image."

  3. You have three options to provide an image: a. Upload an image: Click 'Upload a file', select an image, and click 'Open' or 'Choose'. Supported formats are PNG, JPEG, and non-animated GIF files up to 5 MB.

    b. Drag and drop an image: Find the image file on your computer, click and hold it, then drag it onto the search box on Google Images.

    c. Use an image URL: If the image is online, visit its webpage, right-click the image, and copy the image address. Then, return to Google Images, paste the URL in the "Paste image link" field, and hit 'Search.'

After submitting the image, Google will show you visually similar images, pages where the image appears, and potentially different resolutions of the same image. This process allows you to identify sources, check authenticity, and explore related information based on the provided image.

Please note that the user experience mentioned in one of the references stating that Google Reverse Image Search via Google Lens might seem less effective could reflect individual opinions rather than universal issues. However, following the official instructions should allow you to successfully complete a reverse image search on Google Images.
