The Google Images service offers you the possibility to search the web for an image that you have found online. As a result, you can quickly identify other websites that host the picture or even locate the source.
Search by Image is a small browser add-on that simplifies the entire procedure by allowing you to either start the search via the contextual menu or upload image files from your local computer with a simple drag and drop.
Worth mentioning is that the Search by Image extension is available only for the Google Chrome and Firefox web browsers. However, the installation procedure is rather standard and does not require a browser restart in either case.
Once deployed, you will be able to see the Search by Image item in the contextual menu whenever you hover your mouse on top of an image. What’s more, via the Options panel you can choose to view the extension’s icon on top of images each time you hover your mouse.
As soon as you initiate a search, Search by Image will launch a new tab where you will be able to review the results, just like you would do on the Google Images website.
Keep in mind that the Search by Image functionality is integrated by default in the Google Images page. That means that you can either paste the direct link to the image you want to search, or upload an image either by using the Finder menu or with drag and drop actions.
However, the Search by Image add-on eliminates the need to navigate to the Google Images page or to extract the image URL. The entire procedure is resumed to activating the contextual menu and making the right selection, which can save a lot of time.
To conclude, Search by Image is a time efficient solution designed to help Google Chrome and Firefox users to run queries on the Google Images search engine for any picture found online.
