How To Do Reverse Image Search – Google

I come across a picture on my computer every now and then and sometimes need to find out what the source of that picture is. This is when a reverse image search comes in handy.

Just go to Google and click on the word Images in the top right hand corner. The picture that I’m curious about is a detox drink and I wanted to know its source and how valid it is as a health drink. All you have to do is drag the picture over to the search bar and drop it there.

It’s that simple. The following is the end result:

The first two search hits– one praises it and the second link doubts its validity. I’m chalking it up as an internet fad and moving on.

  1. Terry,
    How do I drag the image if the Google search box is on a different page?

    1. Go to Google, click on images in the top right hand corner (at least that how it displays on mine), then in the search bar you’ll see a little camera icon. Click on it then click on the tab – Upload an image. Then click on the Choose File button and navigate to the picture on your hard drive. Find a picture then click on Open – it should automatically start searching from there.

    1. Thanks, but when I upload a jpg file this site complains that it is NOT a jpg file.

        Try converting to png format. Or just open the file in a photo editing program and save it again as a jpg. Sometimes small glitches can creep into a file making it unusable for some programs/services.
