Search by filters

To search for the desired image on the Yandex Images home page, enter your query and click Search.

If you need any thematic images, enter a general query, such as [Alice in Wonderland]. To find certain images, make your query more specific and use filters. For example, specify your query like [alice in wonderland tea party] and set the filter value to Type “With white background”.

The filters are located on the results page under the search bar. If you see suggestions for clarifying your query (category) instead of filters, click the icon under the search bar on the left.

Note. If the requested image is not found, perhaps it is not on the internet. Try to change your query to make the search parameters less specific. For example, remove some details from the query or reset the filters.
