Build a Reverse Image Search Shortcut for iPhone

You see an image and want to know where it came from, find higher-resolution versions, or identify what's in the photo. Reverse image search is the answer, but doing it on iPhone normally means downloading a separate app or going through a clunky browser workflow. A reverse image search shortcut for iPhone adds a one-tap option to your share sheet so you can search any photo instantly.

How this reverse image search shortcut works

Share any photo to the shortcut from your Photos app, Safari, or anywhere else. The shortcut opens the image in Google Lens or your preferred reverse search engine automatically, returning visual matches, related images, and source information within seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Build a Reverse Image Search Shortcut shortcut free?

Signed-in users can build one custom AI shortcut each day for free, subject to free-model availability. Continued generation uses prepaid credit according to model usage, and a 0.1 credit compile fee applies only when an installable paid shortcut is stored. No subscription or App Store download is required.

Which iPhone, iPad, and Mac models does this shortcut support?

Compatibility depends on the actions the shortcut uses and the software on your device. Review the generated actions before installing, especially when a shortcut relies on newer Apple features or third-party apps.

Does this shortcut need an internet connection to run?

It depends on its actions. Device-only actions can run locally, while web, weather, AI, and other online services need a connection. Turin needs a connection to build and install the shortcut.

Can I customise this shortcut after installing it?

Absolutely. You can describe any changes to Turin and get a new version in seconds, or open the shortcut in the Apple Shortcuts app and edit the actions directly.
