3. In the search bar you will find a camera icon

4. Click on it

5. An image upload prompt will appear

6. Add your image and upload.

There are four ways to search by image using Google

1. Drag and drop an image from the web or your computer into the search box on images.google.com

2. Upload an image - use the camera icon to upload an image and search
