Google’s Image Search allows you upload an image (or paste in the URL) to identify what a product is and where it can be found on the Web. This could be very useful when searching for Christmas presents. Here’s how it works.
– Go to Google and click on ‘Images’ (top right).
– Click on the camera icon (right hand side of the search box).
– Upload a photo, e.g. of an item of clothing you like the look of but don’t know where to find it.
– Google will use its ‘Lens’ feature to display the exact image or something close to it with a link to click through to website where it can be found.
– It is also possible to add keywords to the search to help get the closest match.
“What impresses us most is their ability to convey the issue whilst avoiding the technical jargon that those outside of IT really don’t understand.”
