Google Image Search: Beyond Keywords – Search by Drawing

It is widely known that Google enables users to conduct web searches utilizing images. However, many are unaware of the capability to initiate a Google Image search simply by drawing.

This functionality is made possible through a third-party tool known as Unofficial Google Image Search by Drawing.

How it Works

Users can input their search query by sketching directly within a designated area on the website. Alternatively, a webcam can be utilized to capture an image for the search.

The platform also incorporates drag-and-drop functionality, allowing users to search by uploading images directly from their computer.

Upon accessing the website, a blank canvas is presented. Users can then select their desired pencil size and color before clicking the Search by Drawing button.

The system will then display results corresponding to the drawn image, including any visually similar images indexed by Google.

Browser Compatibility

Currently, this service is compatible with both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers.

Key Features

  • It is a free and straightforward tool to use.
  • Allows image-based searches through drawing.
  • Supports webcam snapshots for quick searches.
  • Functions seamlessly within Firefox and Chrome.
  • Similar services include Gazopa and Pixolu, as highlighted in a recent MakeUseOf article concerning alternative image search engines.
