Lens displays visually matching images in its interface, but limits the output. Google Lens may identify the object, e.g., a building, public figure or plant. Lens in Chrome offers three core features:Ĭontrols are provided to highlight a different object in the image or change the dimensions. A click on the fullscreen icon opens results in a new tab in the browser. While both image search technologies may look similar on first glance, some users may notice key differences between the two.Ĭhrome opens a sidebar with results when you use Google Lens to find out more about an image. The service has been available as an application for Android and iOS for years, but Google started to expand Lens recently. Google Lens is an image recognition service that attempts to identify images using neural networks. Depending on the configuration, Chrome users may also see Search image with Google, which is powered by Lens as well. A right-click on an image lists the new Search image with Google Lens option, and no longer the Search Google for image option.
