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.
• If you’ve opted into Ask Photos, you can still use Classic Search. At the bottom, tap Ask Use Classic Search.

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.
• You can also access some collections from the side navigation panel, like People & pets, Documents, Places, Videos, and more.
