The source code is of course provided, so I suppose an enterprising coder could adapt it to Bing Image Search.Īnyway, I’m grateful to this article for giving me the kick in the pants I needed to find GoogleImageShell because - let’s be honest - I was *never* going to research my wallpapers from a *browser*.

Now *anyone* on the computer can go through a pictures folder in File Explorer, right-click on a file, and choose “Search on Google Images” for any unidentified image they’re curious about.)

(I right-clicked on the GoogleImageShell.exe installer and ran it “as Administrator” to subsequently install it for all users. It’s been archived, but it worked for me in Windand I’ve already used it to find a detailed description and city-level location for one of my wallpapers.

It’s billed as being for Windows 7 and up. ( “Open Location in Google Maps” was grayed out in PropertiesSystemView and there was no EXIF data at all in the file Properties “Details” tab.)ĭoing reverse image searches from a browser is kind of a pain, so I dug around a little and found a Windows Explorer / File Explorer shell extension called “GoogleImageShell” on GitHub. Also unfortunately, EXIF geotags seem to be absent from *all* of the ones I’ve tried checking so far. Unfortunately, when I saved them, I didn’t rename them with descriptive names (when accurate descriptions were even provided). I’ve assembled a nice collection of photographic wallpapers over the years and am curious to know where some of them were taken. Now You: do you use Nirsoft tools? If so, which? While it is possible to check the information manually to open the location on Google Maps, it is usually quicker to use one of the two Nirsoft programs for that.

The program opens the location using Google Maps in the default web browser of the system.

Right-click in the main window of the program after the photo has been loaded and select "Open location in Google Maps".

Open a jpg photo in the application that you just ran.

Extract the downloaded archive and run the application on the system.

ExifDataView is compatible up to Windows 8.1, PropertySystemView supports all supported versions of Windows and some unsupported ones (notably Windows 7). The core difference between the two programs is that ExifDataView may only read metadata of JPG images while PropertySystemView metadata of other files, e.g.

Download either one of the following tools: PropertySystemView or ExifDataView.

While that limits the usefulness somewhat, as many photos may not be provided as JPG images or may not contain the necessary GPS information, it is better than not having such an option at all.Īll you have to do to use the new feature is the following: jpg images and only if GPS information is available as metadata. Nirsoft updated two Windows tools this week that introduce a useful option to look up the photo's location on Google Maps. Tools like Exif Pilot Editor or ExifTool provide editing options. So-called EXIF data or metadata may provide additional clues, provided that the information has been saved in the first place and not been deleted by the photographer or editor of the photo before it was published. While you could do a reverse image search and hopefully find matching photos that reveal more, it is often the case that the effort is fruitless. If the photographer does not reveal where the photo was taken, you have little options to find that out on your own. While an image of the la tour Eiffel, the Golden Gate Bridge, or the Kremlin reveals right away where it was taken, the same cannot be said for locations that are less engraved in our minds. Sometimes, when you look at a particularly great photo, you may wonder where it was taken.
