If you have not recently visited Google Images, then you probably still do not know about the novelty of the moment: Google removed the “View image” button that allowed you to take a look at the complete image in a new tab.
Yes, that which allowed us to see a photograph or an image in its original size to check its details has been eliminated, after an agreement with Getty Images.
But what do Getty Images have to do with that decision?
Probably, the creators of Getty complained about the visits their website does not receive due to the ease that Google offers to take the graphics directly from the search engine. The funny thing is that this change affected all the images, not just those provided by that bank of free images.
Consequently, if we want to look at the photographs well before downloading them, we would have to enter the site that contains them and enlarge them from there.
Fortunately, there are already some alternatives to this problem. We show you the solutions:
Solution 1: ‘View Image’ extension for Chrome and Opera
Extensions are the fast way to solve everything. In this case developer, Joshua Butt has created a simple but elegant solution that returns the ‘View Image’ button to Google Images.
You can download the ‘View Image’ extension for Google Chrome from the official store, or follow this guide to install it in the Opera browser.
Once installed there is no more to configure. The search results in Google Images will show the images with the ‘View Images’ button returned.
Solution 2: Startpage
If we do not want to visit each of the pages that contain the images we want to download, Starpage is the best alternative that we can apply.
It is a search engine in which we can find a variety of images, and other results, that we can visualize as we did before in Google, that is, here we will see the “View image” button and clicking on it will open a new tab with the image in original size.
The only disadvantage of that section is that if the image is enormous, it will be shown as such, forcing us to scroll to see it ultimately. Although this is not the case in all cases:
Starpage is a search engine that represents an excellent option for those who need to find images continuously and have been affected by the small, but essential modification of the unique Internet firm.
You just have to get used to looking at a different interface, the essential functions and the rest of the elements are very similar to Google.
