When you want to find an image, you usually search for it on Google, but finding decent high-quality images is difficult. You need to download the image or open it in a separate tab or window to judge its quality. But there are ways to make this process easier for you. We have curated a list of four easy ways to automatically open Google Search Images in a new tab or window on Chrome.

A new tab will open up with a bigger preview of the image.
