Our newest creation: Photo Tagger
Do you like to upload photos to Facebook? Are you a tagging junkie? Well, then, prepare to be stoked. Today we are announcing Photo Tagger, a new application for the people who want to tag photos in Facebook (especially for those of us with a bunch of albums we “should” tag, and just haven’t gotten around to yet).
Photo Tagger lets you choose albums (yours or your friends’) to scan for faces. Photo Tagger then batches the people it finds into groups and suggests tags for these people:
By finding people for you, and batching them together Photo Tagger lets you tag your albums in a fraction of the time it would normally take. Power-taggers™ and mega-uploaders™ will find a lot of benefit in this application, but even the more typical users (folks who upload 50 photos once / month or so) will also find a lot of value and convenience in the app. Once you confirm the tags in Photo Tagger, those tags are pushed out to Facebook for everyone to see.
In March we launched Photo Finder, an application on Facebook for finding photos you never knew were there. Hundreds of people have sent us emails telling us they found photos of themselves (or their friends) that they never knew even existed.
Since Photo Finder launched, we’ve:
- scanned more than 1.5 billion photos
- identified more than 2.4 million different people
We are launching Photo Tagger in “alpha” mode, much as we did with Photo Finder. This means that you need to “get in line” for an invitation to test the app, and we appreciate all the help we can get! It’s entirely likely that you will see bugs and other issues – please send us any suggestions or bug reports that come up. You can send us feedback by clicking the “Contact” link at the bottom of the page on face.com or in Facebook, or just send us an email to feedback@face.com.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for checking out Photo Tagger!
PS
As a special treat for reading this post to the end, the first 20 people to click this link will be able to add Photo Tagger right now. Dope.

I successfully got an invitation to PhotoTagger, but could not tag most people on my albuns because they are not Facebook users yet. Why does PhotoTagger forces me to select face’s name from a list of facebook users only? What about my children and my oldies, who are not Facebookers at all?
Hey Luciano – I hear your pain
We’re looking into adding support for free-text labels as well so you can tag away all your non-facebook friends. Stay tuned!
