Search by people, things and places in your photos

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

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

You can also use Search to find different features and collections in Google Photos, like 'People and 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.co.uk/search.
  2. In the box at the top, enter what you want to find; for example:
    • London
    • A name or nickname, if you've labelled 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 and pets, Documents, Places, Videos and more.
