Google Lens

Google Lens at a glance

Google Lens turns your phone camera into a visual search and recognition tool. Point it at text, objects, places, products, plants, animals, or images to find useful information without typing a full description. It suits anyone who wants to identify something quickly, copy printed words, translate signs, or search for an item seen in the real world.

What you can do with it

• Read and copy text: Select words from signs, documents, labels, and other printed material, then copy them for use elsewhere.
• Translate what you see: Use the camera to understand text in another language, including menus and public signs.
• Recognize objects: Get help identifying plants, animals, landmarks, and other items.
• Search for products: Look up clothing, furniture, and similar objects from a photo or camera view.
• Explore places and food: Find information about buildings, storefronts, and menu items when relevant Google data is available.

Who it suits

Google Lens is useful for students, travellers, shoppers, and anyone who regularly needs to turn something visible into a search. It can reduce manual typing when you are working with a page of text, help when a label is unfamiliar, and provide a starting point for researching something you encounter outside the screen.
