Google Images retrieves visual data from search results based on specific queries. Each query returns the full first page of results — roughly 300 images. It returns the direct image URL, source page URL, image title, source domain, and dimensions for both the original file and the thumbnail.
Machine learning engineers use Google Images to compile datasets for training image recognition models. Marketing analysts use it to monitor how product photography is distributed across different retail websites.
Cost
$1.00 per 1,000 images. Each image returned counts as one billable row, and every query returns the full first page of around 300 images. The total grows with the number of queries you run. Failed runs don't count.
