I tried hunting on Google Images (at https://www.google.co.nz/imghp?hl=en&authuser=0/), trying to explain the image in words. I tried everything I could think of, but got no results. Then I remembered having heard that you could upload an image or part of an image to look for it, so returning to Google, I ran a search for "using an image to find an image" and found a Google solution.
We can search using an existing image, or part of an image that we have already, and it is so simple I feel like a numpty for not having noticed it before. And this is a spectacular search tool. To search for an image, simply:
- Go to https://images.google.com/
- Click on the camera icon
- Of the two tabs showing, click on Upload an image | Choose file
- Select your image and click Open
- Google will return a list of the images which match.
You can then run a filter for large image, or select one image and so another search for similar images.
Too, too easy!
