What is Google Lens?

Google Lens allows users to search by an image instead of text. This tool can be used to:

  • Identify text in a photo and read it aloud.
  • Translate text in a photo.
  • Identify an animal or flower in an image and name its species.
  • Find the original source of an image.

How to Use Google Lens

While in Google Chrome, right-click on any image and select Search Image with Google.
