Finding things

Find a screenshot or picture

Describe what you saw, the words in it, or why you kept it.

Use the details you remember

Try a description such as “the purple sweater,” “the launch plan on the desk,” or “the diagram with two resistors.” Select Images if you want to leave other types out.

Readable words in a screenshot can help too. Search for a distinctive heading or phrase rather than every word in the image.

Look at the original

Open the image to confirm the detail. When a chat answer points to an image, follow its reference and inspect any highlighted region alongside the rest of the picture.

Small text, handwriting, low contrast, and a tight crop can make recognition unreliable. Color and object descriptions are clues, not guarantees that every visual detail was recognized.

Try another angle

If a visual description doesn't find it, try words that appeared in the picture, the subject, or the Space where it was saved. A clearer image can help if the original is hard to read.
