Photobucket Tags

What is a tag?
A tag is a text that uniquely identifies a section of an image. You can add a tag for individual people, items, or sections within an image. A viewer can see the tags added to the image by moving the mouse pointer slowly over the image.
A tag can include a URL (a link to another website). This allows viewers to be taken to a website of your choice by clicking on the tag name.

How do I add a tag?
1. Click “Add Tags & Description” located to the right of the picture.
2. Type a name or tag in the field.
3. Enter the URL to the site you would like to link the tag to (if applicable).
4. Click “Save.”

For example, if you are tagging pictures of Dolly Parton and you would like to link to her official artist page, you would copy-paste the URL: http://www.dollyparton.com/, into the URL field.

How do I obtain a photo’s URL Link or Embedding Code?
After uploading a photo, Return to Album and scroll down to the photo.
The URL is located underneath the picture in the “Direct Link” field, and the embedding code is located in the “HTML Code” field. The link or code can be copied and used for posting the picture on a website.
