  1. This app icon looks like a multicolored "G" that you can use on an Android phone, iPhone, or iPad. This feature isn't yet available for Android tablets.
    • Use this method if you have the image you want to reverse search on your device.
  2. It's a tab at the bottom of your screen.

  3. It's the multicolored camera lens icon in the search bar near the top of your screen.
  4. Tap the existing photo from your gallery to use it.
  5. You'll see the results of the reverse image search displayed below your picture. Use the box corners to change which part of the photo you want to focus the results on. If available, a circle icon will let you select an object from your photo to search.
    • You'll either find exact duplicates of your photo, if there are any, or similar-looking images. Because Google does not have a facial recognition feature, you won't be able to find pictures of your face in other images.[1]
    • Alternatively, you can request the desktop site from Chrome and follow the steps for using a computer.

  1. Open a web browser and go to https://images.google.com/. You can use web browsers like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox.
  2. A File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) window will open.
    • If you're using either Chrome or Firefox web browsers, you can drag and drop files from your computer to the web browser instead.
  3. Once your photo uploads, you'll see a list of similar images and websites listed.
    • If you find an image online of you, like on Facebook, you can right-click it (or tap it on Android phones, tablets, iPhones, and iPads) then select Search Google for image.

  1. Open a web browser and go to https://google.com. You can use any web browser on any mobile or desktop platform to Google your own name.
  2. After you've initiated the search for your name, you'll see a list of websites that include your name.
  3. This will filter your results to show you images rather than websites.
    • If you find a picture of yourself, you'll see the website listed below that tells you where the picture is hosted, like twitter.com.
    • You can click or tap the image again to be directed to that website.
    • This method won't work for images of you that may be online but tagged with a different name.
