Today Google is the most complete and extensive service to find images that exist on the internet. Because it is such a valuable tool, today we will show youhow to search for an image in Google images and by size.
How to Search For an Image in Google Images and by Sizes
There are several ways to search on this platform, we will tell you a little about the changes that Google has implemented lately and we will also show step by step how to find the approximate and exact dimensions, as well as perform reverse searches, either by URL or image upload.
Google images
Through the service that Google offers, it is possible to find all kinds of images and on any content. It is the most extensive and complete platform that exists today.
Google Images is capable of classifying any type of image according to copyright, so not all of them can be used for their own purposes, but those that are classified as “free to use for commercial purposes” are usable by anyone.
In addition, it allows you to search by sizes, colors, formats, etc.
Changes in Google Images
Google has implemented several changes in options that were very useful for users when conducting an image search. It no longer offers the ability to search by specific dimensions. It only allows you to find them by large, medium and icon size.
However, very interesting and useful tools such as reverse or image search are still maintained.
How to search an image in Google images by size?
- Go to Google Images.
- In the search bar, type the type of image you are looking for. Our example will be sushi. Hit “Enter”.
- Go to “Settings” and click.
- Go to “Advanced Search”.
- You will be shown a series of options to carry out a more precise search. Scroll down to “Image Size“.
- Select the size range you are looking for. For example, we chose “greater than 400 x 300”.
- Scroll down and click the “Advanced Search” button.
In this way, Google will show you only the images with the chosen size range from now on.
How to search an image on Google images by size more precisely
There is another method to find images of an exact size more quickly and accurately. To do this you will have to add a few more things to the search bar.
- Go to Google Images.
- In the search bar, write the image you are looking for and in turn put “image size: Width x height”. For example,sushi image size: 640×426.
- Press “Enter”to search.
In this way, Google will offer you a list of images where you can find several with the exact dimensions you were looking for.
Search an image in Google images using reverse search
Reverse search is another way to find images, but unlike the traditional way, this consists of uploading a photo or the URL of the one that you have found on a website and Google will offer you more related images.

Although it is not exactly Google Images, Google Lens is a service that allows you to analyze photos, but it also helps to find images related to them, a bit like a reverse search.
