- Go to Google Images Search (http://www.google.co.in/imghp?hl=en)
- Drag and drop an image from your computer onto the Google Images Search page. Or you can simply upload the picture by clicking on the camera icon given in the search box.
- Google will upload your image into its database

Remember, this search is done by analyzing the provided image –it is not a search based on the name of the image. To test it, from Google Images, I downloaded a photograph showing a camel. I renamed the photo as “royal Bengal tiger” and then followed the above steps to find similar images.
And guess what!
I failed to confuse Google and it found me lots of images of camel!

There used to be a tab that allowed me to view the full image and drag and drop the image also but now the tabs gone. Has something changed?
Hi there, can I drag a picture from Google images to my YouTube channel ‘banner’. If so, how would I do this?
I can get an image, upload this image to google search or drag and drop to the searcher textbox. But the thing that I want to do is Google Search Engine search the similar images inside MY OWN WEBSITE, not in all the web. It doesn’t matter if I must to pay, but what can do??
Hi Cristian, you should your developer to check out Google’s Image Search API. Google does not provide a solution that you need, but you can develop it yourself with API.
Hi Lalit, I tried with your suggestions, but there was no related information about this photo in google. Thank you very much for your help.
Mr. Lalit Kumar I have been searching a unknown mountainous place that appears in a black and white old picture in the web. This picture were taken in 1943 apparently in Iran. It shows a mountain range with a saddle of two hills or peaks. I used the way you explained with Google images, but there were no similar matches. I would appreciate your help a lot.
Hi Jose, your question interests me. Probably Google doesn’t know anything about that place. Or may be it is not able to connect the picture you have with the related information available on Internet. There isn’t much we can do about it. May be you can search for phrases like “peaks in Iran” or “photography in Iran in 1943″… far-fetched, but you never know what Google may throw at you! All the best!
