Make Image Management Easy with Multi-Level Tags

In daily work, study, or creation, images keep piling up. Often, when you want to find a picture, you search through many folders but still can’t find it. Actually, adding the right tags to your images—especially multi-level tags—makes managing and searching much easier.

What are multi-level tags? Why use them?

Search images with multi-level tags

Multi-level tags mean tags can have “parent and child” levels. For example, you can tag an image as “ProjectA/Design/Icons”. This way, you know which project and category the image belongs to. Compared to single tags like “Design” or “Icons”, multi-level tags are much clearer.

Benefits of multi-level tags

  • More detailed categories: Sort by project, type, or use.
  • Faster search: Click a parent tag to see all related images.
  • Easy batch actions: Tag many images at once, saving time.

For designers

If you work on many projects, each with UI, icons, illustrations, etc., you can tag like this:

  • “ProjectA/UI/Buttons”
  • “ProjectA/Illustrations/Animals” When you need assets, just click “ProjectA” or “UI” to see all related images.

For photographers

If you take many photos, sort them by year, theme, or place:

  • “2025/Travel/Shanghai”
  • “2024/Portraits/Outdoor” Later, you can quickly find photos from a certain year or place.

For content creators

When writing articles or making videos, you often need images. Try tags like:

  • “Article/Tech/Illustration”
  • “Video Cover/Lifestyle/Photography” No need to search through many folders for the right image.

How to quickly find images with tags

  1. Click the tag filter icon at the top to open the tag tree.
  2. Click a parent tag, like “ProjectA”, to show all related images.
  3. Click a child tag for more precise search.

Tips

  • Keep tag names simple and clear—easy to understand at a glance.
  • Don’t make tag levels too deep—two or three levels are enough.
  • Clean up tags regularly—remove unused tags.
  • Use batch actions—save time.
