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.
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.
Go to getturin.com and describe your shortcut (e.g., 'Reverse image search a photo using Google Lens from the share sheet').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the reverse search shortcut.
Tap the 'Install' button to add it directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
Trigger the search from Photos, Safari, Messages, or any app that supports the share sheet.
Search by image without installing a separate reverse image search app.
Configure the shortcut to use Google Lens, TinEye, or any reverse image search service you prefer.
