What is Google Lens?

Google Lens is a set of vision-based computing capabilities that can understand what you’re looking at and use that information to copy or translate text, identify plants and animals, explore locales or menus, discover products, find visually similar images, and take other useful actions.

Search what you see

Google Lens allows you search what you see. With the help of Google Lens, you will be able to discover visually similar images and related content, gathering results from all over the internet

How Google Lens works

After comparing objects in your picture to other images, Google ranks images based on their similarity and relevance to the objects in the original picture.

Lens also uses its understanding of objects in the picture uploaded by you to find other relevant results from the web.

Lens may also use other helpful signals, such as words, language, and other metadata on the image’s host site, to determine ranking and relevance.

When analyzing an image, Lens often generates several possible results and ranks the probable relevance of each result. Lens may sometimes narrow these possibilities to a single result.
