Keywords can be added in your image editing software and imported by using the **Get details from image metadata** option on the image upload screen in DPG, above. 

You can add more than one keyword at a time by separating keywords with commas or semi-colons:

```
Bride, Groom, Wedding, Dress

```

> 💡 **Tip:** You can use emoji characters in your keywords ✌️.
