Google Images

recommended: allow
Operated by Google search engine

The Google Images bot is the search engine crawler for Google Images Search.

How to identify it

User-agent contains any of:

  • Googlebot-Image

robots.txt

Well-behaved crawlers honor robots.txt. To control Google Images:

Allow full access

User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Allow: /

Block entirely

User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /

Grey-area scrapers ignore robots.txt. Botscope enforces your policy at the edge or origin regardless — see how →

See Google Images on your own site

Botscope shows every bot and AI agent hitting your site — and lets you allow, challenge, or block each one. Observe first, enforce when you're ready.
