Select & Search – The Ultimate Visual Search Tool

🔍 Search what you see. Instantly. 🤌🏻

Ever spotted a product in a video, a logo in a presentation, a pattern in a design, or a detail inside a locked-down image and wished you could search for it right away?

Traditional reverse-image search only works on standalone, clickable images. It breaks the moment you want to search inside a YouTube frame, a Zoom call, a PDF, a Figma canvas, or a protected image.

Select & Search fixes that by turning your cursor into a visual search superpower.

With a quick drag over any area of your screen, Select & Search captures exactly what you’re looking at and sends it straight to the search engine of your choice—no screenshots, no saving files, no manual uploads.

➽ What Select & Search Can Do

» Search anything you can see If it’s visible on your screen, you can search it:
video frames, UI elements, infographics, product shots, memes, text inside images, and non-clickable elements on any webpage.
