Guys, who hasn’t seen a photo on Facebook, Instagram, or wherever and wanted to know where it came from? 😅 Well, searching for images on Google isn’t just hitting “search” and that’s it, there are tricks nobody tells you about to really do it right.
I recommend you check out this <a href="https://www.empresadeserviciosweb.com/servicios/articulo/”>article that is interesting: <a href="https://www.empresadeserviciosweb.com/neuro-email–marketing-psicologia-automatizacion-ctr/” title=”What does Email Marketing consist of?” class=”internal-recommendation” target=”_self” rel=”noopener”>What does Email Marketing consist of?.
Step 1: go to Google Images, easy
You go to <a class="" href="https://images.google.com”>images.google.com, and you see that little camera icon that’s super cool. There you can upload the photo or paste the link you have. I do it all the time when I want to find memes or photos that people send me. 🤳😂
Step 2: upload or paste the image and… search away!
You upload the photo or paste the link and Google starts searching for identical or similar photos. Sometimes it nails it and sometimes it shows you stuff that makes you say “what even is this?” 🤔🙈 But no worries, it can be fixed.
Step 3: add words if you want to narrow it down
If you see that you’re getting a lot of weird stuff, try adding a word that helps, like the name of the movie, the place, or something that appears in the photo. That way Google understands better what you’re looking for and gives you more useful stuff. 🧐✨
Step 4: don’t trust everything
Just because it shows up on Google doesn’t mean it’s true or that the photo is original. There are some websites that… better not even mention. So take a good look at where the image comes from before sharing it or making a mess. 🔍😅
Pro tricks that are cool to know
- Search for the same photo but in better quality, so it doesn’t look pixelated and looks great.
- Find out if someone is using your photo without permission (hey, this also works to protect yourself).
- Use browser extensions to do this without leaving the page you’re on, super convenient.
- And if Google gives you nothing, try TinEye, which sometimes finds things Google doesn’t catch.
What’s all this for? 🤷♂️
Well, to not fall for fake photos, to find out where memes come from, or to look for cool images without copyright issues if you want to use them for something. And that’s it, because in the end this is all about looking smart online without racking your brain too much. 😜👍
