Reverse Image Search & Geolocation

Google Lens

FreeDual-use

Google's visual search to identify objects, places and text in images.

Google Lens allows users to upload photos or use their camera to visually search for information about objects, places, and text found within an image. Investigators typically use this tool to identify unknown items, extract readable text from screenshots, or gather contextual details about locations visible in visual media.

Dual-use tool. This is capable of legitimate research (journalism, security, due diligence) and of harassment or stalking. Listing it here is not an endorsement of either use.
Privacy note. Your public photos can be matched to identify people, places or objects in them.
