Google Images: History, How To Search For Pictures Or Perform A Reverse Image Search On IPhone, Android, Or Desktop

Google is much more than just a search engine. Since its launch back in 1998, Google has built an impressive array of specialized tools to help people use, search, and navigate the internet and world around them. 

Google Images is one of the many features the search giant offers; it's a great place to search for pictures and photos by using relevant keywords.

You can also search Google Images using an image rather than text — this is known as a reverse image search — to find out more information about a specific photo or graphic.

The invention of Google Images was famously precipitated by the pop star Jennifer Lopez, whose daring green Versace dress at the 2000 Grammy Awards became the most popular search query Google had seen at the time. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt later wrote that Google had no real way of getting users the results they were searching for, which were simply pictures of JLo in the iconic dress.

Schmidt said the invention of Google Images was a classic example of what Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin did best: innovating and iterating in response to user demand. Google performed a similar feat in 2011 when the company added reverse image search functionality.

Here's how and why you might want to use Google Images and its reverse image search tool. 

What is Google Images? Type any term into Google Images and the search engine will bring you to a gallery of thumbnails linked to websites. Michelle Mark/Business Insider

Google Images lets you type in a search term — it can be a person, place, event, item, or anything else you want to visualize — and brings up a gallery of images that match. Those images are all linked to websites, so you can easily go right to the source for more information.

The main factor in determining what images populate your results page is how closely your search terms match the image filenames. 

Here are three simple ways to access Google Images:

  • Visit google.Com and select Images in the upper-right corner.
  • Visit images.Google.Com, which is a more direct way to get to Google Images.
  • Input the search terms for your image search into the default Google search and select Images on the results page. 
  • Once a search is submitted, Google finds a set of thumbnail images correlating to your keyword description.

    Google Images is also far from Google's only photo tool — Google Photos is a photo-sharing and storage service with its own search features that functions similarly to Google Drive for documents.

    Google Lens, which launched in 2017, is Google's image recognition technology that functions similarly to a reverse image search: it uses your device's camera to identify real-world objects like products or locations or even people, and gives you information about them.

    What is Google's Search by Image? 

    Google's Search by Image is a feature that uses reverse image search functionality. 

    When you do a Google reverse Image search, you place a photo or a link to a photo in the search bar instead of a text query. Google then finds websites featuring your image as well as related images.

    When to do a Google reverse image search

    It's most helpful to search with an image on Google in the following cases:

  • Find information about a photo. A Google reverse image search could bring up a website that includes a person's name or information about a product. It can also indicate whether a photo is being used for mis- or disinformation, as is often the case with deepfakes or "shallowfakes."
  • Uncover plagiarism. A reverse image search will bring up similar images. This can reveal whether an image was copied from someone else's work.
  • Find other similar images. If you want to find other photos connected to a specific image, a Google reverse search will populate related pictures.
  • Shop for a specific product. If you have an image of an article of clothing, product, or other object, Google will automatically show you images of the same or similar products with links to purchase them.
  • Google reverse image search on iPhone or Android

    You can reverse image search on iPhone or Android using a photo from the internet or your camera roll. Here's how to do it.

    Using an image from your files

    This option requires that you have Google for Android or Google for iOS app installed on your device.

  • Open the Google app on your iPhone or Android.
  • Tap the camera icon in the search bar. The app might ask for permission to access your camera and image gallery. When it does, grant permission.
  • Tapping the camera icon will open Google Lens. Michelle Mark/Business Insider

    Quick tip: If you have the Google Search widget on your Home Screen, you can tap the camera icon to start a reverse image search

  • Either tap the shutter button in the middle section to take a picture or look for the image in your gallery in the bottom left section and then tap on the image to perform the search.
  • Take a picture of the object or browse for it in your gallery. Michelle Mark/Business Insider
  • After a moment, Google will display the results of the image search.
  • Using an image from the search results

    Before proceeding with this method, you'll need to download the Google Chrome mobile app to perform a reverse image search on your mobile device.

  • Open the Google app on your iPhone or Android, or open google.Com in the Chrome app.
  • Describe the image you want to search. For example, you could type "tuxedo cat."
  • Tap the Images tab at the top so you can only see the image search results
  • Type the image you want to search for in the search bar, and select the "Images" tab. Michelle Mark/Business Insider
  • Select an image from the search results and hit the camera icon in the bottom left-hand corner.
  • Tap on the Google Lens icon. Michelle Mark/Business Insider
  • Then, select Search from the menu, and Google will show you images and related search terms that match your query.
  • Google reverse image search on a computer

    You can do a more robust Google reverse image search on your computer by uploading a file from your computer or searching for an image on the web. Google Images works with Chrome, Firefox, and Safari browsers.

    Using an image from your files
  • Open images.Google.Com in a web browser.
  • Click the camera icon.
  • Either drag and drop your image where it says "Drag an image here" or click on the "upload a file" link to search for the image on your computer.
  • Click the Google Lens icon, then upload the image you want to search. Michelle Mark/Business Insider
  • If you choose to upload the image, find it on your computer, click on it, and select Open.
  • After the image is uploaded, you'll be taken to a page containing similar images or information about the image.
  • Using an image from the internet
  • Right click on the image you found in Google.
  • Choose Copy image address in the pop-up.
  • Copy the image address. Michelle Mark/Business Insider
  • Open images.Google.Com in a web browser.
  • Click the camera icon.
  • Paste the picture's URL in the text box that says Paste image link.
  • In the "Paste image link" text box, paste the image's URL in there. Michelle Mark/Business Insider
  • Click on the Search button, and you'll be taken to a page of results related to your image.
  • Quick tip: You can also do a reverse image search from Google image search results. Just right-click on an image and choose Search image with Google Lens.


    Editorial: Chicago Public Schools Robs Peter To Pay Paul To Pursue An Unaffordable Brandon Johnson Vision

    Chicago Public Schools finally has released its school-by-school budgets for next year. The system conveniently waited until the chance of Springfield intervening in its fiscal affairs was over.

    The budget document released Tuesday provides information on specific staff allocated to each school. But it's frustratingly difficult to ascertain which schools are winning and which are losing money as CPS fundamentally changes how it apportions funds.

    The budget also doesn't provide current staffing to allow comparisons. It's no use going to last year's budget either, since school-by-school decisions were framed then in terms of dollars rather than staff.

    CPS brass say that's basically by design. This budget represents a reset, a whole new way of running the system. From their point of view, there's little point in these comparisons. This is Year 1, folks.

    Except, of course, in real life things don't work that way. Parents with kids in second grade or seventh grade or sophomore year want to know how their schools are benefiting — or being shortchanged.

    The big new CPS idea is that, instead of allocating money mainly by how many students attend a school, budgeteers have established a baseline in terms of the minimal staff each school should have regardless of how many kids it serves.

    So, more than usual, there are winners and losers, given that the overall pot of money isn't increasing much. Critics point to the example of Douglass High School in Austin on the West Side. That high school currently serves a total of 35 — no, that's not a typo — students. Under the new budget, Douglass is adding nine positions next year to bring its staff to 32 from 23, according to Chalkbeat. If the student population doesn't increase next year, there will be nearly as many workers as students in that school.

    "We're dealing with some longer-term structural issues," CPS Chief Budget Officer Michael Sitkowski said to us, adding that Douglass needs a budget that adequately serves the few students who are there.

    Such are the quandaries when you're budgeting for a school system built to educate far more students than actually walk through its doors.

    Under the old budgeting system, school budgets depended mainly, but not entirely, on enrollment. That's an understandable way to divvy up resources, but as parts of the city lost population over the past decade and many schools continued operating at well below 50% of their capacity, those sparsely attended schools lost teachers and other staff for budgetary reasons. As a result of those losses, they weren't able to offer arts classes and other programs to augment basic academics, which made them even less desirable choices for the dwindling number of school-age parents in their areas.

    CPS' solution to this problem has been to establish a minimum standard for each school no matter how few students go there. There will be a principal, assistant principal, clerk, counselor, teachers for each grade and so forth.

    To ensure these minimally attended schools have this baseline level of support means that a large number of better-functioning schools are losing resources. Which schools? That's not easy to determine. Education reporters did their best. Chalkbeat reported that at least 150 schools will lose staff positions. The Chicago Tribune reported that LaSalle Language Academy, a magnet school on the Near North Side, is losing seven of eight dual-language teachers. This at a language academy! That information was according to a LaSalle parent who spoke at a Chicago Board of Education hearing and said, rightly, "To me, (an) 88% (loss) is disproportionate."

    Disproportionate is an appropriate term given the nature of these latest Chicago schooling debates. Mayor Brandon Johnson convinced Senate President Don Harmon late last week not to allow a vote on a House-passed bill that would have prevented such "disproportionate" budget cuts at schools progressives like Johnson don't favor. Johnson promised Harmon there would be no such reductions to selective-enrollment schools. His letter gave no such assurances for magnet schools like LaSalle.

    That brings us to the role of Johnson, the former Chicago Teachers Union lobbyist who now runs the city. This budget begins the process of carrying out Johnson's (and CTU's) vision for Chicago public education in which propping up unpopular neighborhood schools takes precedence over supporting popular alternatives such as magnet and charter schools. Without a massive influx of revenue from the state, for which Johnson and CTU unsuccessfully lobbied in Springfield, schools such as LaSalle will continue to pay the price to pursue this vision.

    Sure, Johnson may say otherwise. It doesn't change the reality.

    In that direction lies eventual CPS failure. Adding nine more staffers at Douglass is highly unlikely to attract enough new students to make that investment worthwhile. Meanwhile, with a system facing a fiscal 2026 budget gap expected to well exceed $700 million, continuing to pursue this vision will mean the schools that are attractive options will continue to lose out in order to support the unattractive options. Eventually, those schools that parents currently find desirable will lose their luster as well. And when that happens, we'll see even more flight to the suburbs or families leaving the Chicago area entirely.

    Don't believe for a second that many Chicago parents of babies and toddlers aren't watching what's happening now with a great deal of trepidation. In a few years, they will have to decide whether to give Chicago Public Schools a try or just throw up their hands and move out of the city. While CTU plots with Johnson to preserve as many teaching jobs as possible by propping up half-empty (or worse) schools, their mutual maneuvers could simply convince parents of tomorrow's would-be CPS students to pull up stakes. Then the continued declines in CPS enrollment eventually will give Johnson (or whoever sits on the fifth floor after him) no choice but to close schools and cut jobs.

    Johnson talks a lot about redressing past inequities that he asserts are the reason for the failure of so many neighborhood schools. We're more concerned about the future than the past. And we're not confident this mayor understands what he's risking by penalizing schools that parents actually want their kids to attend. At some point, it will be too late.
