Best Practices for AI Image Tagging

  • High Resolution: Use clear, high-resolution images for better AI photo tag accuracy.
  • Good Lighting: Well-lit images produce more accurate tags and descriptions.
  • Clear Subject: Images with distinct subjects and objects generate more relevant tags.
  • Supported Formats: Stick to supported formats (JPG, PNG, WebP) for optimal results.

Use Cases and Integration Examples

SEO Enhancement

Use the AI image tagging API to automatically generate alt text and meta descriptions for your website images:

// Enhance image SEO with AI-generated tags
const enhanceImageSEO = async (imageElement, apiKey) => {
  const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
  const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
  canvas.width = imageElement.width;
  canvas.height = imageElement.height;
  ctx.drawImage(imageElement, 0, 0);
  
  const base64Image = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');
  
  const response = await fetch('/api/v1/generate_tags', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ image: base64Image })
  });
  
  const result = await response.json();
  const { tags, title, description } = result.data.tags;
  
  // Update image attributes for SEO
  imageElement.alt = description;
  imageElement.title = title;
  imageElement.setAttribute('data-tags', tags.join(', '));
};

Content Management Integration

Integrate AI photo tagging into your CMS workflow:

# Bulk process images in a content management system
import os
import requests
from pathlib import Path

def bulk_tag_images(directory_path, api_key):
    """Process all images in a directory with AI tagging"""
    image_extensions = ['.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', '.webp']
    
    for image_path in Path(directory_path).iterdir():
        if image_path.suffix.lower() in image_extensions:
            try:
                # Generate tags for each image
                result = generate_image_tags(api_key, str(image_path))
                
                # Save metadata to accompanying file
                metadata_path = image_path.with_suffix('.json')
                with open(metadata_path, 'w') as f:
                    json.dump(result['data']['tags'], f, indent=2)
                    
                print(f"Processed: {image_path.name}")
                
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Error processing {image_path.name}: {e}")
