Search by people, things & places in your photos

Search your photos for anything. For example, you can search for:

  • A wedding you attended last summer
  • Your best friend
  • A pet
  • Your favorite city

You can also use Search to find different features and collections in Google Photos, like People & pets, Albums, Documents, and more.

Important: Some features aren't available in all geographic regions, all domains, or all account types.

Search your photos

  1. On your computer, go to photos.google.com/search.
  2. In the box at the top, enter what you want to find, for example:
    • New York City
    • A name or nickname, if you've labeled people or pets.

Tip: To more easily search and manage your photos, you can apply a label to people or pets that appear in photos grouped by Google Photos. Learn how to set up Face Groups.
