Summary

With a single click on the extension icon, effortlessly capture any region of a webpage that piques your interest. No need to save or download images – just select and release.

Watch the magic happen as your captured image is instantly sent to Google Images for a seamless visual search experience. Discover similar images, the origin of your captured image and get more information about the image.

-Why not rely on Chrome's default 'Search image with Google' feature? Because conducting a direct search on Google Images often yields distinct results. There are instances where navigating through Google Lens and selecting 'find image source' fails to provide any results whatsoever.

Here are some user cases where Screenshot Search can be incredibly useful:

  • Celebrity Name Discovery: Easily uncover the name of a celebrity by capturing their face.
  • Online Video Item Identification (people, locations, objects) : Identify and locate an item that caught your eye while watching an online video by pausing then capturing its image. -Selective Capture for Precision Search: Refine your search by capturing only the specific part you're interested in while excluding the rest, ensuring precise and focused results.

This extension was a life saver and one of my most used tools, however as 05/03/2024 for some reason it has stopped working and just opens a new google images page without doing the search. TBF, I use Opera GX Browser, so it may still work on Chrome.
