How to use Amazon Lens, a visual search tool available in the Amazon Shopping app

Search with images in your photo library

Have a picture or screenshot of something you want to buy? You don’t need to describe the product, color, or shape. Simply tap the Lens icon in the search bar, tap upload to access your camera roll, select the image you want to use, and Amazon Lens—in seconds—shows you similar items to shop on Amazon.

We recently launched the Circle to Search feature, allowing you to circle the specific product you’re searching for when there are multiple products in the image.

Customers worldwide are increasingly using their own photos to search with Amazon Lens, as we’ve seen the number of photo searches with Amazon Lens more than double over the past year. From replicating looks, to finding replacement parts, to finding exact matches for items that catch your eye, Amazon Lens simplifies the shopping experience for you.
