Adding Tags (overview)

Overview: The following tutorial is an overview of the main locations on Photobucket where you can access the "Tagging" feature. A tag is text that uniquely identifies an image or section of an image. Each tag can be up to fifty (50) characters in length, and up to twenty (20) tags can be added to an individual image. Tags are only available for image files at this time.

Photobucket tagging gives you the unique ability to share tagged and linked images across social networks and the Web. When tagged images are displayed on Photobucket, embedded onto other sites or shared by email, viewers of those images can see the tags, click on links, and also find more images with the same tags on Photobucket.

Requirements: You must be a Photobucket account holder and be using a web browser that supports javascript and/or a web browser that has javascript enabled.
