If you're looking for an image, map, graphic, photo, design or drawing, Try Google's Image Search by clicking on the Images link above Google's search box or visiting images.google.com.
Enter your query and click on the "Google Search" button. Alternatively, enter your query and then click on the Images tab. Google Image Search works best when there are many images available to choose from, e.g., photos of Mount Rushmore.
[ Mount Rushmore ]
Click on the image that interests you. You'll go to a framed page with two parts. On top, you'll see Google's image thumbnail. On the bottom, you'll see the full page on which the image appears.
Clicking on the thumbnail image or on the "See full-size image" link that appears just below the thumbnail image will display the full-size image.
You can save the image to your hard disk by:
To view the page containing the image without the thumbnail image on top, click on the page's URL, which appears between the thumbnail image and the page itself following the text "Below is the image in its original context on the page."
Focusing Your Image Search
As with text searches, you can focus your search when it finds too many images. Restrict your results to images that are large, medium, or small by clicking on one of the links that is in the upper right corner on the Images results page.
Alternatively, narrow your query by using Google's Advanced Image Search form. To get there, either click on the Advanced Image Search link or go to images.google.com/advanced_image_search.
You can specify:

The Size restriction refers to the height and width of the image in pixels. The following table lists the approximate dimensions for each relative size specification.
