How to Search With a Saved Image in a Browser

If you’ve photographed or downloaded an image on your iPhone or iPad, you can use that in the Google Images Search page to look for more details or view similar images. You’ll need to open Google Images Search in the desktop view before uploading the image.

To get started, launch the Google Images Search site in a browser on your iPhone or iPad. Then, you’ll need to open the site in its desktop version. Here’s how you can do it.

In Safari, tap the “aA” icon on the address bar, and select “Request Desktop Site” from the pop-up menu.

In Google Chrome, tap the three horizontal dots in the bottom-left corner, and select “Request Desktop Site” from the pop-up menu. Other browsers will have a similar option in the page settings.

The Google Images Search page will appear as the desktop version in your mobile browser. Next, tap on the “Search By Image” (camera) icon.

Select the “Upload an Image” tab when the “Search By Image” box pops up.

Tap on the “Choose File” button and select “Photo Library” to browse, select, and upload the photo saved on your iPhone or iPad.

Once the photo uploads, Google Images Search will redirect you to a results page where you’ll see Google’s best guess based on the uploaded photo. You’ll also see similar images on the same page and the links where the similar-looking photo appears.
