Hi, I'm Peter, a product manager on Google Images.
Today I'm going to tell you how you can add your image to
Google Images.
Google Images is not the source of the images in its
search results.
Instead it crawls the web for images to include on the
search results page.
This means that you can't upload an image directly to
Google, but alternatively, you should upload it somewhere
else on the web.
If you have a website, you can upload it there.
If not, you can upload it to one of Google's free services,
such as Google Blogger or Picasa.
After uploading the image, make sure to include
descriptive text near it.
This helps Google understand what the image depicts and
what searches it will be most relevant to.
Also, be sure that the web page containing your image is
publicly accessible.
For example, in Picasa, check the privacy settings to make
sure the content is shared with the public.
Finally, be patient.
Images only appear on Google once they've been indexed,
which can take some time.
But by following these tips, you are more likely to see
your images in Google Image search results.
