Adding tags to Flickr images helps the photos to come up in a viewer's search on any particular subject. Adding tags to your own images can be done in a number of ways, but there are fewer options for adding them to others' images. Read this article to learn how to use the options that are available for tagging others' images.

edit Steps1Sign in to your Flickr account. If you don't have one, create one. You can't add a tag unless you are signed in.2Go to the image or images that you wish to tag.3If you're taking the time to tag images, consider tagging the Creative Commons images. These are images that can be used with permission for a variety of purposes, including on wikis. Adding this tag will ensure the most use out of the added tags.4 A Creative Commons image to be taggedLook to the right of the image.
