FotoTagger enables you to add comment tags to your JPG images, that can be viewed from within the FotoTagger viewer, but are invisible in any other viewer. The tags do not modify the image data, but use the comment space that is provided with the JPG format, therefore your original images remain visually unchanged. If you want your comment tags to be visible to all others, you can save a merged copy of the image, which permanently inserts the tag into the photo. The program also integrates with Blogger and Flickr and can upload a merged copy of a tagged image to your blog, or send it by email. FotoTagger includes a search engine that indexes the comment tags in your images, and allows you to instantly find a photo based on the embedded keywords or comment. You can edit single or multiple images from the right-click menu in Windows Explorer.

For Windows 2000 / XP
