Google Image Search is a great way to find images that you can use in your writing. You can search for images by title, keyword, or location. You can also search by album, image size, or type of image. To search for images in Google Image Search, follow these steps:
- Open Google Image Search and type in the keywords you want to find images for. For example, if you want to find images of flowers, you would type “flowers.”
- Click on the “Search” button at the top of the screen. This will open a search bar with all of the results from Google Image Search.
- Type in the image you want to find and click on the “Search” button again. This will open a new window with all of the results from Google Image Search combined into one place.
Google’s Image Search results are sometimes so beautiful that you want to save some of those images to your device. If you’ve found yourself in this situation, here’s how to download photos from your search results on desktop and mobile.

Save Photos From Google Image Search on Desktop
To download an image on desktop, all you basically have to do is pick your image, click an option, and your photo is saved to your computer.
To do that, first, launch your favorite web browser on your computer and open Google Image Search. There, find the photo you want to save to your machine.
On the search results page, access the photo that you want to download.
Right-click your photo, and from the menu that opens, choose “Save Image As.”
Your browser will open your computer’s standard “Save As” window. Here, select a folder to save your photo in, type your photo’s name in the “File Name” field, and click “Save.”
And you’ve successfully downloaded your favorite picture from your Image Search results. If you’re not sure exactly where the image file went, check your Downloads folder.
If your downloaded file is of low resolution, then try downloading that image directly from the source site. To do that, on the Image Search results page, click the link beneath the photo and not the photo to be taken to the photo site. There, right-click the image and choose “Save Image As.”

On your photo’s full-screen page, tap and hold on the photo.
On Android, in the menu that opens, choose “Download Image.”
On iPhone or iPad, from the menu that pops up, select “Save Image.”
Your phone will download and save the photo on your local storage, and you’re all set.
