How to search for products by photo on AliExpress
Search by photo is a function that allows you to upload images of the products you want to find on AliExpress and immediately get a list of all relevant results. This method is extremely useful if you do not know exactly what the product is called, or if you have seen it somewhere else and want to find it cheaper than AliExpress Choice product or with faster transport.
Procedure on a computer (via a browser):
- Open AliExpress in your browser:
Start by going to AliExpress main page in your internet browser. Make sure you are logged into your account to take full advantage of all features. - Find the camera icon:
At the top of the page, right next to the search field, you will see a small camera icon. Click on it. This icon will take you to the image search interface.
- Upload a product image:
After clicking on the camera icon, you will be prompted to upload a picture. You can choose an image saved on your computer or you can directly take a screenshot of the product you want to find.

- Sort by price:
In the upper part of the page, above the search results, you will find various sorting options. Click on "Sort by" and select "Price". AliExpress will then show you the products from the lowest price to the highest, which will allow you to quickly identify the cheapest offer.
