Search by photo

Restriction

This feature works only if you're connected to the internet.

Visual search is a convenient way to search for information. You don’t have to enter a search query: just point your camera at an object, and the system will return information about it.

For example:

  • point the camera at an apple, and it will show its calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrates;

  • point the camera at a car, and you will learn its make, model, specifications, and configuration cost;

  • point it at a plant, and the camera will tell you its name and where it grows.

Note

Allow Yandex Browser to access your camera and files in the device settings.

  1. Open Yandex Browser and click in the Smartbox.

  2. Point the camera at an object or select an image from your device’s gallery (tap the round icon with a thumbnail of the last photo in the bottom right corner). Yandex Browser will mark recognized objects with dots.

  3. Tap on the dot marking a recognized object, and a window with tabs will appear:

    • About the image — shows information about the recognized object;

    • Similar — shows similar items. In the Refine search field, you can make the query more specific to expand the results.

    • Sites — links to pages with similar images.
