Question details

The user is looking for a way to add tags to multiple photos simultaneously because the batch tagging option is no longer available in their browser interface.

Product: Google Chrome
Device & OS: PC
Scenario: Attempting to select multiple photos and right-click to edit tags while managing files in Google Chrome.
Observed behavior: The 'Edit Tags' option does not appear when multiple photos are selected; currently, only individual photo tagging is functional.

Before you start

Check if your web-based photo management service has recently updated its interface, as several platforms have deprecated the batch-tagging feature in their current web versions.

Solution 1Recommended

Tag Photos Individually in Your Web Browser

Since batch tagging has been removed from the current web version, you must apply tags to photos one by one using the standard interface.

While it can be tedious for large collections, tagging photos individually is currently the only supported method on this specific web interface due to recent updates that removed the multi-select tagging option.

Select a single photo

Click on one image in your browser to open its detailed view or preview window.

Open the Info panel

Locate the 'Info' or 'Details' icon (often represented by an 'i' symbol) and click it to view the image metadata.

Add your tag

Find the 'Tags', 'Keywords', or 'Description' field, enter your desired tag, and press Enter or save the changes.

Repeat the process

Navigate to the next photo in your collection and repeat the previous steps to continue tagging.

Feature Availability: The batch-tagging feature was available in earlier versions but has been permanently removed by the service provider. For large batches, consider managing files locally.

Solution 2

Batch Tag Photos Using Windows File Explorer

If you download your photos to your local PC, you can easily use Windows File Explorer to batch tag multiple files at once.

Easily Organize and Present Multiple Photos with WPS Office

While batch tagging metadata might be restricted in your web browser, you can easily organize, label, and group large collections of photos using the Photo Album feature in WPS Presentation.

1. Open WPS Presentation: Launch WPS Office on your PC and create a new blank presentation.
2. Create a Photo Album: Navigate to the 'Insert' tab on the top ribbon, click on 'Picture', and select 'Photo Album' from the drop-down menu.
3. Import Multiple Photos: Click 'Add Photos', select all the images you want to organize from your local drive, and click 'Insert'.
4. Add Labels and Export: Once the album is automatically generated, use text boxes to visually tag and label your photos, then save the file for easy sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the edit tags option disappear when I select multiple photos in Chrome?

Many web-based platforms and cloud storage services regularly update their interfaces. In recent updates to certain web galleries, the batch-tagging feature was removed to streamline the web experience, forcing users to tag images individually.

Can I batch tag photos natively on a Mac?

Yes. If your photos are downloaded locally on a Mac, you can select multiple images in Finder, right-click, choose 'Get Info', and add tags in the 'Tags' field provided in the Info window.

Is there a way to restore the batch tagging feature in my web browser?

No, if the platform hosting your photos removed the feature from their website, it cannot be restored through Google Chrome browser settings. You must rely on local file managers or dedicated photo management software to edit metadata in bulk.
