If the first search doesn't return great results, try cropping the image to focus on just the product, or try a different angle.
Tips for Better Image Search Results
- Use high-resolution images — blurry or low-quality photos produce poor results.
- Crop out backgrounds and focus on just the product itself.
- For shoes, use a side-profile shot — this is the most distinctive angle for footwear.
- For clothing, use a flat-lay photo rather than a worn photo for better matching.
- Try multiple angles if the first search doesn't return good results.
- Use Google Lens as a backup — it's excellent for identifying brand and model names.
- Screenshot from official brand websites for the most accurate matching.
