Ravue — Simple visual search, under your control Ravue makes visual search in Firefox simple, fast, and fully under your control. Search an image directly from the context menu, or open the Ravue panel to select any visible area of a page. Click to get a suggested selection, or click, hold, and drag to draw an area manually. Adjust the boundaries as needed and confirm only when you are satisfied with the selection. Your search opens in a new tab. While preparing the request and transitioning to Google Lens, Ravue displays a “Preparing your search” screen. Key features

Click-based suggestions help identify visual boundaries, but they do not use OCR or remote artificial intelligence. Review the selection boundaries before starting a search. Privacy and control For direct image searches, choosing the Ravue command authorizes the search to begin. Whenever possible, the extension uses the image’s original URL, allowing Google to retrieve the file directly from its source instead of relying only on the portion visible on screen. Image URLs may contain parameters, which Ravue does not automatically remove. Ravue also does not determine whether a resource is publicly accessible. Avoid searching private images or URLs that contain sensitive information. When an image URL cannot be used directly, the extension may prepare the image locally using available image pixels or a capture permitted by Firefox. If a search using a URL fails after submission, Ravue does not automatically fall back to a new screen capture. When using the area selector, Firefox captures the visible area of the tab locally so that you can create a crop. Nothing is sent while you are adjusting the selection. Only after you confirm does Ravue prepare the selected content and send it to the Google services required to start the visual search in Lens. Crops and other locally prepared alternatives are sent as JPEG images, with a maximum dimension of 1200 pixels on the longest side. Review the content before confirming: personal or sensitive information within the selected area is not automatically hidden or redacted. Ravue uses temporary session storage and has no intermediary server of its own, no advertising, and no telemetry. Content submitted for visual search is processed by Google services and is subject to their terms of service and privacy policies. See the extension’s privacy policy for additional details. Compatibility Built with Manifest V3 for Firefox Desktop 142 or later. Search results depend on the availability of Google Images and Google Lens.
