Google Lens lets you do some cool things with your mobile device, even if it sometimes feels a bit niche. Google Chrome also has functionality that allows you to use Google Lens to search for anything visible in the browser. For example, it can detect images and text, or still images captured from video, to return results.
Today, we want to highlight how you can use this neat functionality!
## How You Can Use Google Lens in Chrome
Google gives users quick access to the Lens feature. Just follow the steps below:
1. Open the Chrome menu through the **triple-dot icon.**
2. Select the **Search with Google Lens** option.
3. Your cursor will adjust to reflect the search you are trying to perform.
4. Use the cursor to select the boundaries for the search.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll see a sidebar open up with your results. You can use these results to refine your search further.
That’s all there is to it. Now you can use Google Lens through Google Chrome to unlock more features and functionality.
