When you take a photo with your iPhone, it automatically saves the date and time the photo was taken to the filename. While this is helpful in some cases, it can make organizing your photos a bit more difficult.
How to name photos on iphone
For example, if you take a photo of your dog, name it “Joey_dog.jpg” instead of just “IMG_1234.jpg.” You can change the name of a photo right from your iPhone’s Photos app. Just open the app, select the photo you want to rename, tap the share icon (the square with an arrow coming out of it), and then tap “Edit.” This will open the photo in the built-in iOS Photo Editor. Tap the ellipsis icon (the three dots) in the top right corner, and then select “Rename.” From here, you can type in the new name you want for the photo. When you’re finished, tap “Done” in the top right corner, and the new name will be saved. Now, when you go to organize your photos, it will be much easier to find the ones you’re looking for!
Add keywords to the file name to make it easier to find later on
For example, if you take a photo of your dog at the beach, you could name it “Joey_dog_beach.jpg.” This way, if you’re ever looking for all the photos you have of your dog at the beach, you can just search for “beach” and all of those photos will come up. If you take a lot of photos and have a hard time keeping them all straight, try adding keywords to the file names. This will make it much easier to find the photos you’re looking for later on.
Use numbers and letters together to create a unique file name
For each photo.If you have a lot of photos, it can be helpful to use numbers and letters together to create a unique file name for each photo. This way, you can easily keep track of all your photos and know which one is which. For example, if you take a photo of your dog at the beach, you could name it “1A_Joey_dog_beach.jpg.” Then, if you take another photo of your dog at the beach, you could name it “1B_Joey_dog_beach.jpg.” This system may take a little bit longer to set up, but it will be worth it in the end!
Create folders on your phone for different types of photos
If you have a lot of photos, it can be helpful to create folders on your iPhone for different types of photos. For example, you could have a folder for all your dog photos, a folder for all your vacation photos, and a folder for all your work photos. This way, you can easily find the photo you’re looking for without having to scroll through all of your photos. To create a folder, open the Photos app, tap the “Albums” tab, and then tap “New Album.” From here, you can name the album and add photos to it. Once you’re finished, tap “Done” in the top right corner. Use iCloud Photo Library to keep your photos organized. If you have an iCloud Photo Library, you can use it to keep your photos organized. iCloud Photo Library will automatically upload all of the photos on your iPhone to iCloud, and then you can access them from any device with an internet connection. To turn on iCloud Photo Library, open the Settings app, tap “iCloud,” and then tap “Photos.” From here, you can turn on iCloud Photo Library and choose how you want your photos to be stored. iCloud Photo Library is a great way to keep your photos organized, because you can access them from anywhere and they will always be backed up.
