Screenshot Search Extension

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.

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.
- Search Inaccessible Web Images:
Seamlessly search images that are otherwise difficult to access on web pages like backgrounds and programmatically restricted images using the mouse capture feature.
- Online Shopping:
Shoppers can capture product images they like and quickly find similar items or better deals across different websites.
- Skip The Google Lens Step:
Eliminate the need to go through google lens \"Search image with Google\" option each time you want to make a search on Google Images.
