COS’È GOOGLE IMMAGINI?
Google Immagini lo trovate direttamente collegandovi al motore di ricerca Google.
Basta cliccare su: Immagini, in genere in alto a destra, in automatico si viene reindirizzati su un’altra pagina, grazie alle quale è possibile cercare qualsiasi tipo di immagine semplicemente inserendo le parole chiave o una frase.
In alternativa, Google Immagini è raggiungibile alla pagina Images Google images.google.com
Pertanto, mentre la classica ricerca Google permette di trovare siti web, Google immagini, come risultato della ricerca mostra delle immagini in base alle parole inserite.
Gli strumenti di ricerca avanzata presenti su Google Immagini permettono di trovare immagini quanto più vicine a quelle desiderate.
Per una ricerca avanzata e veloce è sufficiente cliccare su “strumenti” e scremare la ricerca sulla base di:
- grandezza dell’immagine;
- predominanza di colori;
- formato della foto;
- data di caricamento;
- licenza d’utilizzo.
RICERCA DELLE IMMAGINI TRAMITE GOOGLE
Così come per la ricerca di siti web, Google Immagini funziona allo stesso modo. Inserendo alcune parole chiave, il motore di ricerca riporterà le immagini a queste collegate. A tutti gli effetti si tratta del modo più semplice per cercare le immagini sul web
The results obtained are in the form of thumbnail images arranged according to their relevance to the entered word or phrase.
Once you have the images you can:
- Click on the image to see it larger, share it, save it, or link to the corresponding website;
- from the large screen obtained, scrolling down further images more similar to the selected one are proposed;
- save the image with a name, simply by right-clicking and selecting “save as”;
- copy the image and paste it into a document or the clipboard.
GOOGLE IMAGES: ADVANCED SEARCH
Let’s now see how the function works : Google advanced image search which allows you to find the desired image among the over 10 billion images indexed on Google.
By clicking on “tools” you have a series of additional filters:
SIZE
Allows you to select the image based on the number of pixels, choosing between icon, medium or large images.
COLOR
This option is very useful because it allows you to decide the image’s main color. The option next to the dimensions allows you to filter images. These can be displayed in black and white, or you can choose one of the available colors or transparent colors.
TYPE
The third feature allows you to search Google images by type. You can select any type, clip art, drawn images, or GIFs.
RIGHTS OF USE
This option is very useful as it shows what usage rights an image has. Google divides content into two categories. The first: Creative Commons Licenses are generally images that can be used free of charge but require the author to be credited. It’s also a good idea to read the terms and conditions, as some images may not be modified or used for commercial purposes.
The second: Commercial and other licenses concerns all images that have licenses called “Non-creative Commons”.
They can be present both on websites that allow you to use them for free and on websites that require payment for use.
TIME
You can also find images published within a specific time period. This allows you to view images posted in the last 24 hours, week, month, or year.
REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH WITH GOOGLE IMAGES
One of the most interesting features of Google Images is the ability to find an image using another image as a reference parameter.
In other words, instead of entering a keyword or phrase, Google’s algorithm allows you to perform an image search by starting from another image and providing similar search results.
The feature is called reverse image search . It can be useful, for example, if you take a photo and want to find similar images on the web.
The feature can also be useful for finding websites that use a particular image as well as finding very similar images.
HOW TO PERFORM A REVERSE SEARCH
Reverse search on Google is very simple. Just go to Google Images and click on the camera icon.
At this point, you have two options: you can paste the image URL (if it’s online) or upload the image.
Simply click on “choose file” and select the desired image or photo from your smartphone or PC gallery.
Here too, you can use all the filters and features listed so far to narrow down your results. You can select predominant colors, check which websites they’re on, and filter images by upload date and size.
HOW TO ADD AN IMAGE TO GOOGLE
Website, blog, and e-commerce owners may need to have their images displayed in Google Image search results.
Generally, content creators and website owners simply publish the image on their website, and Google will automatically index it and make it available in the search engine. The important thing is that the image be present at a public and accessible web address.
If your image isn’t indexed, you can help it get indexed by adding descriptive text or a caption that helps search engines understand what’s depicted. Furthermore, uploading original, high-quality photos attracts new visitors, and as a result, your images will appear more quickly in search results.
GOOGLE IMAGES: INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT
If you have children old enough to browse Google, it might be a good idea to enable Google SafeSearch, a feature that helps eliminate the possibility of minors finding sexually explicit content via Google Images.
The Safety feature, which can be activated at safety.google/, blocks all unwanted search results on Google search engines, but does not block content from other search engines or if you enter the website address directly.
