InTag is a lightweight tool for tagging files and folders directly from the Windows Explorer context menu. Nearby tags are suggested automatically for quick reuse.
- Tag files and folders from the Explorer context menu
- Multiple metadata properties: Tags, Title, Subject, Author, Comments, Category, Company, Street, and more
- Suggested tags from nearby files for quick reuse
- Toggle column visibility and grouping per folder with Ctrl+F / Ctrl+D
- CLI support for scripting and automation
- Works on Windows 10 and 11
- Right-click a folder or file and select InTag.
- Assign tags or edit metadata properties. Nearby tags appear as suggestions.
- Press Enter or click away to apply. Press Esc to cancel.
- Right-click the InTag window to access settings: toggle properties, change appearance, and more.
- Use Ctrl+F to toggle column visibility or Ctrl+D to toggle grouping for the current property in the parent folder.
Tags are the default property. Use --property to work with other metadata.
