Tags

Immich supports hierarchical tags, with the ability to read existing tags from the XMP TagsList field and IPTC Keywords field. Any changes to tags made through Immich are also written back to a sidecar file. You can re-run the metadata extraction jobs for all assets to import your existing tags.

Enable tags feature

You can enable this feature from the Account Settings > Features > Tags.

Creating tags

Tags can be created and added to a photo or a video by clicking on the Add tag button at the bottom of the info panel.

The tag prompt will appear, and you find and select a tag, or type in a new tag to create it.

Viewing tags

You can navigate to the Tags view from the side navigation bar or by clicking on the tag in the info panel.

Editing tags

Tags can be edited for one or more photos by selecting the photos desired, and then clicking Add/Edit tags from the kebab (⋮) dropdown menu.

Tags that have already been added to the photos selected will appear in the prompt. Any tags that are present on some of the selected photos (but not all of them) will appear darker to differentiate them. They can be selected from the dropdown menu to add them to the remaining photos.
