There may be times when you come across a product that you want, but the website where you found it is asking for a price that is significantly higher than your budget allows. Or, when looking through your social media account, you noticed that one of the people you follow is wearing a very attractive shirt that you wanted to wear but were too embarrassed to ask him/her because you weren't that familiar to the person in question?
The fact that there is a remedy for this type of problem is a blessing!

The image search function allows you to look for anything you want by uploading a picture. If you don't know the name of a product, this life hack will make it much easier to look for it online. You can simply take a picture of it and then let the web search engine find it for you if you want.
You may also search for products on Aliexpress by uploading an image to the website or using the Aliexpress mobile app. Due to the fact that the picture search feature is not widely known, some individuals may find it puzzling. Therefore, in this article, we will show you how to use the picture search option on Aliexpress to make your online shopping experience more convenient.
What is Aliexpress?
AliExpress is a hugely popular online marketplace founded in China that caters to customers throughout the world. It is well-known for having virtually just about anything you could ever possibly want to purchase in one convenient location. It's also a fantastic location to find new and bizarre items that you were previously unaware of.
However, while the prices on AliExpress are extremely low, this does not necessarily imply that the products are. Many high-quality items from very well known Chinese manufacturers are available that are unavailable on similar platforms. Moreover, while AliExpress does have its fair amount of low-quality trash, the variety and abundance of products available make low-quality things stand out like a sore thumb among the rest of the product selection.
AliExpress curates its assortment in the same way that a real store does, promoting the highest-quality products on the top of the front page.
What is an image search?
With image search, you can look up anything on the internet just by uploading a picture of what you're looking for. The site will scan the image you have submitted and then present you with an alternative image that is either identical to or very similar to the image you originally used, depending on your preferences.
How to image search on Aliexpress? (step by step)
Some other people may find image search confusing because it is not a particularly popular method of searching for a product on the internet. The image search function on Aliexpress is incredibly simple to use, however it is only available within the application itself. Due to the lack of an image search option on the Aliexpress website, we've put together a step-by-step instruction on how to picture search on the Aliexpress application as well as on several other websites.
1.Select an image
- The first thing you'll want to do is take a screenshot of the image and save it to your phone. If you want your image search results to be as accurate as possible, make sure you utilize a clear picture. Also, make sure to crop the image to focus on the very exact object that you are looking for. Too many objects in a photograph can cause confusion during an image search, resulting in the image search returning results that are unrelated to the product you are looking for.
2.Open or download a tool that will help you find products on Aliexpress
- The only way to do picture searches on Aliexpress is through the Aliexpress app for mobile devices. It does not have an image search feature on its website. Fortunately, there are a number of websites on the internet that offer services like Aliexpress image search. Both aliseeks.com and thieve.co can be used to find a product on Aliexpress by allowing you to search for products using images on their websites and then directing you to aliexpress once you find the right product.
You may also utilize Google's image search; simply upload a photo to its search bar and then enter the term aliexpress in the search box; this will allow Google to show you things that are available on aliexpress or products that are related to the word aliexpress, for example.
3.Upload the image
- After you've opened the Aliexpress app, go to the search bar. A camera icon will appear in this area, so you should select it by tapping it. After you click on it, the application will launch your camera, allowing you to take a picture of the item that you are looking for. Alternatively, if you already have the image saved on your smartphone, there is an option to simply upload the image and Aliexpress will locate the goods for you on its website.
- If you are using a website to search for products on Aliexpress using a picture, you can just upload the image to the website and the website will suggest some that is identical or very similar to the product that you uploaded. You will be directed to the Aliexpress website when you click on the product that you wish to purchase.
Pros and Cons of Image Search on Aliexpress
For those of us who don't know what we're looking for, image search can be really helpful, especially when we don't know the specific name for something, such as the sort of plant or the breed of dog that we're after. The good news is that image search allows you to simply take a picture and submit it to the search bar, and the search engine will return results that are exactly or similar to your image.
However, there are certain drawbacks to using image search in specific situations. To that end, we will address some of the advantages and disadvantages of using an image search in this section of the essay.
Pros:
- Image searching is a simple and quick process.
- It provides both a basic and a sophisticated search.
- Allows for several sorting choices, such as black and white, faces, and image kind.
Cons:
- In order to find photos, Google Image Search searches for text (your search keywords).
- Among the places where Google looks for the search queries are the image's filename, the link text linking to the image, and the text immediately adjacent to the image.
- Google makes an educated guess as to whether the words are linked to the picture.
- There is no standardized meta-data that is associated with photographs.
- In terms of image recognition, Google technology is not yet at the point in which it can tell what is in a picture just by looking at it.
- It is possible that the photographs identified by Google are protected by copyright.
- If you want to use photographs for anything other than seeing them on the web, Google cannot provide you any rights to do so.
- As a result, if you wish to utilize any photographs that you have discovered through Google, you must first contact the site owner in order to gain the necessary authorization.
- Besides photos stored in databases, there are other types of images that Google is unable to index. Some of these are more likely to be superior to those found from Google search.
- When it comes to the visual quality of the photographs they index, or the applicability of an image for your specific purpose, Google is unable to make adequate evaluations.
Image Searching on AliExpress 2022
The picture search function on Aliexpress makes it much easier for us to find things that we are interested in purchasing on the website. Some claim that it also makes it easier for visually impaired persons to find what they're looking for when searching online. Having said that, if you want to get accurate results from your search, make sure that the photo you use is centered on the product you're looking for.
Having too many objects in the picture other than the product you're looking for can be confusing for the image search option. It may present you with suggestions that are different from the image you submitted.
Image search, on the other hand, is not very useful when looking for specific items because it may be based on the filename of the image being searched for. It is possible that, instead of displaying you results that are linked to the image, you may see results that are related to the file name of the image. Google image search also has a function in which you may search for specific terms by typing them into the search bar underneath the image. This makes your search considerably more accurate.
