Search by Image for Chrome

If you are trying to expand your photo collection, you probably already have reliable sources. However, it may happen that inspiring images pop up when least expected, in which case you may want to find out more about them by searching them on Google.

Search by Image for Chrome is a browser extension that claims to be a reliable companion in this kind of situation, being able to search images you stumble upon online at a click of the mouse.

The Chrome add-on is straightforward from all points of view, with little to no tech skills being required in order to get it up and running.

You simply need to right-click a photo you find on any web page, with a new context menu item allowing you to initiate a Google search. You are then shown various results with websites containing your image as well as other, similar photos you might be interested in.

What’s more, the most probable keyword used in order to find your image is revealed along with other useful info.

Regarding configuration options, you need to know that you have the possibility of adding a hover camera icon on the pictures you find online so that you no longer need to access their context menu in order to carry out the task.

Apart from that, filtering the results by image size is possible. To be more specific, you may be shown pictures larger than any of the following thresholds: 45X45, 89X89, and 150X150.

Besides, the “Settings” section enables you to rely on the image URL when carrying out a search, but this option is not recommended.

Search by Image for Chrome is a lightweight browser add-on that helps you effortlessly inspect the photos embedded in any website you may be visiting, all simply by clicking on the items that interest you.
