# About keyword tags

Keyword tags are personalized keywords, such as “Dad” or “Florida,” that you attach to photos, video clips, audio clips, PDFs, and photo projects in the Photo Browser so that you can easily organize and find them. When you use keyword tags, there’s no need to manually organize your photos in subject-specific folders or rename files with content-specific names. Instead, you simply attach one or more keyword tags to each photo and then retrieve the photos you want by selecting one or more keyword tags in the Keyword Tags palette.

For example, you can create a keyword tag called “Anna” and attach it to every photo featuring your sister, Anna. You can then instantly find all of the photos of Anna by selecting the Anna tag in the Keyword Tags palette, regardless of where the photos are stored on your computer.

You can create keyword tags using any keywords you want. For example, you can create keyword tags for individual people, places, and events. When photos have multiple keyword tags, you can select a combination of keyword tags to find a particular person at a particular place or event. For example, you can search for all “Anna” keyword tags and all “Marie” keyword tags to find all pictures of Anna with her daughter, Marie. Or search for all “Anna” keyword tags and all “Cabo” keyword tags to find all the pictures of Anna vacationing in Cabo San Lucas.

Use keyword tags to organize and find photos by their content. You specify keywords for your tags and choose the photo icon that represents each tag.
