I discovered a nifty feature in Google Image Search last night. If you go to Google Image Search…
This is Google Image Search
… drag an image onto the search bar…
Drag an image into Google Image Search
… upload the image…
Uploading an image to Google Image Search
Google Image Search will find that image posted other places online…
Google Image Search “Image Search” results
… and visually similar images.
Google Image Search “Similar Images”
Then you can even search within the results to narrow them down further.
Filter Google Image Search’s Similar Images
I don’t know how long this has been around, but seems like a very cool feature!
Possible use cases:
- You have a picture, but can’t remember where you downloaded it from.
- Looking for people who are copying your artwork and reposting without permission.
- Looking for different pictures of a place without a well known name.
What would you use this for?
