After a long period of use, your PC may store a large number of images, which are usually stored in different locations. This can make it difficult for you to find the target image. However, if you know the image name or image type and use an efficient search method, it is not difficult to find the target image. Here we introduce two methods:

Method 1. Searching for images by using Photos

The advantage of using Photos to search for images is that it can preview multiple pictures at the same time, which is convenient for you to quickly locate the target image.

Step 1. Open the Photos

Click the Start button or directly use the shortcut key Win to open the Start menu, then click the Photos icon.

Step 2. Add Folders

After opening Photos, click the Folders icon in the menu bar on the left side of the window, and then click Add a Folder to add the folders you need to search.

Step 3. Search for target images

After adding folders, you can type the image name, type or date in the search box on the upper left of the window to locate the target image.

Note: You can also use the Sort, Filter, Gallery type and size in the upper right corner of the window to help you find the target image faster.

Method 2. Searching for images by using Wise JetSearch

The advantage of Wise JetSearch is that you don't need to specify the folder, it can quickly find all images in the drive you selected.
