庆祝视觉搜索创新25周年

We're celebrating Google Images turning 25 with a look back at some major milestones — and introducing new ways to explore and create visual content. Your browser does not support the audio element. This week marks 25 years since we launched Google Images , beginning the evolution of Search from a text-based experience to one that allows you to visually explore the world. To celebrate this milestone, we’re introducing two new ways to help you explore and create visual content — plus a look back at our major innovations in visual search. Today, we're introducing a brand new browseable home for Google Images , featuring a dynamic, immersive gallery of images from across the web — updated in real time and intelligently tailored to your unique interests. As you browse and save ideas to your collections , they’ll appear as tabs above the main gallery, making it easy to jump back in and continue exploring based on what inspires you. This will roll out over the coming weeks on desktop in the U.S. in English. Sign in to your Google Account to try it out. Sometimes, the perfect image is out there on the web, waiting to be found. But other times you might have a highly specific vision where an image doesn’t yet exist. To help bring those unique ideas to life, we’re bringing image generation directly into AI Overviews in Search. Using our latest Nano Banana model , this update transforms a simple text prompt into a high-quality, custom visual made completely from scratch, seamlessly bridging the gap between imagination and reality. Image generation in AI Overviews will start to roll out over the coming weeks in English, for all regions that currently support image creation in AI Mode . Both of these updates are built on 25 years of innovation to make the world’s visual information instantly accessible and useful. To see how we got here, let’s take a look back at some of the major launches that transformed how we search with — and for — images. When Jennifer Lopez’s iconic green Versace dress broke the internet in 2000, we realized that the standard search page at the time — a list of blue text links — simply wasn’t enough. People didn’t just want to read about the dress — they wanted to see it. So in July 2001, we launched Google Images, making it possible for the first time to search and instantly explore visual content from across the web. The Similar Images feature made it possible to find pictures without relying on text alone. If you searched for “bow,” you might see images of hair bows and bows and arrows. By clicking the one you had in mind and tapping “find similar images,” you could see more of what you wanted without typing a whole new query. We launched Search by Image to change how you navigate the web — moving beyond text to let the image do the work for you. By simply uploading an image or pasting its URL directly into the search bar, visuals became search terms. This allowed you to quickly identify the original source, track down where the photo appeared across the web or discover visually similar content. Google Lens makes your everyday life searchable, letting you use your smartphone camera to ask about the world around you. With Lens, you can identify objects, translate text and pull up product links in real time without typing a query into the search box. Multisearch marked a significant step into the era of multimodal search. Now, you can search with text and images at the same time, like snapping a photo of a unique landmark and adding “what inspired this design.” Or taking a picture of a sleek dining table you saw on social and typing “coffee table” to find a similar piece for your own home. To help you search anything on your Android phone screen, we built Circle to Search . With a simple gesture — like circling, highlighting, scribbling or tapping — you can select what you’re curious about on your phone screen and get more information right in the moment, without switching apps.
