  4. Select "Edit Tags" from the dropdown

Tag Best Practices

Be Specific and Descriptive

Use tags that accurately describe what's in your image. For example, instead of just "dog," use more specific tags like "golden retriever," "puppy," or "dog playing at beach."

Use Multiple Tags

Add 5-15 relevant tags to maximize discoverability. Include subjects, colors, moods, locations, techniques, and equipment when applicable.

Consider Different Perspectives

Think about different ways people might search for your image. For a beach sunset, consider tags like "sunset," "beach," "ocean," "vacation," "tropical," and "golden hour."

Use Popular and Trending Tags

Including popular tags (when relevant) can increase visibility. Check the "Trending" section on your dashboard for ideas.

What to Avoid

  • Irrelevant tags: Don't use tags that aren't related to your image content
  • Excessive tagging: More than 20 tags may be considered tag spamming
  • Single-word repetition: Avoid tags like "dog dog dog" or "dog, dogs, doggy"
  • Misleading tags: Using deliberately misleading tags violates our community guidelines

Tag Visibility and Search

All tags are public and searchable. When users search for a specific tag, images with that tag will appear in search results, sorted by relevance and popularity. Tags also help our AI recommend your content to users who might be interested in it.

Tag Limits and Restrictions

  • Maximum of 30 tags per image
  • Each tag can be up to 50 characters long
  • Special characters are not allowed in tags (except hyphens and underscores)
  • Tags that violate our Community Guidelines will be removed
