Tag+

Tag PDFs, documents, photos and more in File Explorer, then find them by tag.

Windows only lets you tag a handful of file types, such as photos and Office documents. Tag+ adds tags to around 60 common types, including PDFs, text files, source code and ZIP files, right from the right-click menu in File Explorer.

Tags show on thumbnails, and the Search filters section in Explorer's navigation pane gives every tag a one-click filter built on Windows Search. Want help getting started? Tag Sense AI can suggest tags for you with a fully local AI.

How do I tag a file?

Right-click a supported file in File Explorer and choose a tag from the Tag menu, or select the file and press Ctrl+Win+Alt+T followed by a number key (1-9).

Which file types can I tag?

Over 60 supported extensions, including PDFs, Word and Excel files, text files, source code, ZIP files, photos and videos.

Where are my tags stored?

On your PC, using embedded metadata, an XMP sidecar or attached NTFS storage, depending on the format and installed handler. Preserve sidecars and check whether your copy or sync tool preserves NTFS streams. The compatibility guide explains the differences.

How do I find tagged files again?

Open the Search filters section in Explorer's navigation pane and click a tag, or search File Explorer. Tags are visible to Windows Search.

Can AI tag files for me?

Yes. Right-click files and choose Auto-Tag, and Tag Sense AI suggests tags using a local AI model on your PC.
