Automatically tag and find photographs with AI

What you will do

Arams can add tags to your photographs so you can find a subject or object without browsing the whole project. Tags can be inaccurate or incomplete, so check the search results before making your selection.

Automatic AI tagging is free and does not use photo-analysis credits. It runs separately from the credit-based photo and face analysis started with Analyze. You do not need to choose Analyze to generate tags.

Prepare automatic image tagging

1. From the home screen, open Settings and select General.
2. Under Analysis, find Automatic image tagging.
3. If the row reads Automatic image tagging (download available), select the download control at its right.

Download the automatic-tagging component from the Automatic image tagging row. Arams 1.10.2 · Windows · American English

4. Wait for the model download to finish. A switch will appear in place of the download control.

5. Turn on Automatic image tagging.
6. If the switch is already on, you can go straight to adding photographs.

Before importing, confirm that Automatic image tagging remains enabled. Arams 1.10.2 · Windows · American English

Follow tagging progress and review the suggestions

1. Create a project and add your photographs with Automatic image tagging enabled.
2. Select the bell icon at the top of the window.
3. In the background-operations panel, find Tagging images. Other operations can appear in the same panel, so use this named row—not Analyzed or Analysis completed—to follow tagging.

Follow the Tagging images row, not the Analyzed counter. Arams 1.10.2 · Windows · American English

4. When tagging finishes, select a photograph and open Details and Faces.
5. Expand Metadata and Tags if needed. Compare each suggested tag with what is actually visible in the photograph.

Compare useful and inaccurate suggestions with the photograph itself. Arams 1.10.2 · Windows · American English

In the example above, Arams recognized the cosmetic tube with tags including cream, cosmetic, and tube. It also suggested catch and muscle, which are not useful descriptions of the object, and did not add earring for the visible earring. Keep useful tags, questionable suggestions, and missing descriptions distinct in your review.

Choose a tag that is absent from the contrast photographs. Arams 1.10.2 · Windows · American English

The contrast portrait received a different list, including earring, necklace, pearl, and portrait, but not cosmetic. Compare several photographs before choosing a tag for a search; a tag that appears on every image will not narrow the project.

Find photographs with a generated tag

1. Choose a photograph that has a useful generated tag for the object or subject you want to find.
2. Select that displayed tag to filter the project.
3. Review every remaining photograph and remove any false matches from your working selection.
4. Reset the filter when you finish. Then check important photographs for objects or subjects that Arams did not tag, so missing suggestions do not exclude them from your work.

Inspect the filtered result visually before continuing. Arams 1.10.2 · Windows · American English

In this example, selecting cosmetic left the portrait with the cosmetic tube and excluded the contrast photographs. This is a practical shortcut for this project, not a promise that the same object will always receive the same tag.

If it does not work

• The tagging switch is not available: if Arams offers a model download, let it finish before importing photographs. Keep the exact error message if the download stops.
• Tagging is still running: open the bell and check Tagging images. Keep the project open while the operation finishes.
• No generated tags appear: confirm that Automatic image tagging is on, then check the named tagging operation in the bell panel. Starting Analyze is not a troubleshooting step for automatic tags.
• The object has no useful tag: find the photograph manually. You can add your own tag in Add tags to make it easier to find later.
• A tag includes unrelated photographs: treat them as false matches and inspect the filtered set visually before selecting, editing, or exporting.
• Too many photographs match: try a more specific tag.
