By |

1-Find images in any size you need.

10- Related Searches

To help you find the image you’re looking for,Google Images sometimes shows you popular refinements so you can narrow down your search. These refinement searches are commonly associated with your original search. Refinements are especially useful when you’re not sure exactly what you’re searching for or when you’re just looking to browse through images about a specific topic. Here is an example of the refinement panel I got when searching for images on ” Mars “

11-Hover over a panel to view some sample images. 


When you hover over a panel, you’ll see a preview of the images for that search

12- Click a result


When you click an image search result, the image viewer will open under the search results you were looking at with a larger version of your selected image. To close the viewer, simply click on the X in the top right corner or the selected image. In this view, you can see more detailed information and use handy tools.

a- Name of the webpage
b- The webpage’s URL
c- Image dimensions
d- Other images you may be interested in 

Navigate easily:

  • Use the left and right keyboard arrows to navigate to other images
  • Scroll and select another result to view that image
  • Click on the image, page title, URL, or Visit page to view the web page the image is from
  • Click View original image to go to the full-size image directly
  • Click More sizes next to the image dimensions to view other sizes of the selected image
  • Click Image details to view embedded data (when available), other images similar in appearance or meaning to your selected image, and pages hosting the image 

13- Keyboard shortcuts 

14- Search by Image
Search by image allows you to do a reverse image search and discover all sorts of content that’s related to a specific image. For example, search using a picture of your favorite band and see search results that might include similar images, web pages about the band, and even sites that include the same picture.
To search by image visit images.google.com, or any Images results page, and click the camera icon in the search box. Enter an image URL for an image hosted on the web or upload an image from your computer.
