How to remove tags from one of multiple Flickr photos?

Tags are a great way to describe your photos and they make searching easy. Tags are a great way to easily label, group, and manage your photos. But if there is a tag which is not relevant, you can easily remove it. Following is the process to remove a tag from one or multiple Flickr photos

  1. Firstly open Flickr on one of your devices.
  2. Now log in to your Flickr account using Flickr username and your Flickr password.

  7. Once you have selected all the photos, tap on the Modify button that appears at the bottom of the screen, the Modify Photos screen appears.

Brett Middaugh testimonialBrett Middaughsmugmug
I've used picbackman for just about a year and without it I would not have been able to upload my entire photo collection to flickr easily. I highly recommend the product. Although I am not a fan of yearly subscriptions their support team is quick to answer any questions you may have. Definitely a useful product for photographers to upload photos online.
Clever Ricardo Chinaglia testimonialClever Chinagliasmugmug
I had 80,000 photos to upload to flickr, and flickr pro users knows how ridiculous are the speed of the desktop app for a lot of us...With picbackman I´ve got all the 80,000 photos uploaded in about 3 weeks - using my laptop for only a few hours a day! I reccomend!
Achal Gupta testimonialAchal Guptasmugmug
This is a fantastic piece of software! I wanted to backup 100+ gigs worth of original sized photos to Flickr and after trying many many tools, PickBacMan was the one that finally worked. It worked flawlessly for 10 straight days uploading all my photos without a single error/ timeout/ crash. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!
Gavin Whitham testimonialGavin Whitham smugmug
PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Vlad testimonialVladsmugmug
PicBackMan has been operating quietly in the background on my Mac for a year now and in that time has backed up over 30,000 photos to Flickr. It's done exactly what I wanted it to do with no fuss, it's a great piece of software.
T.E.Lahey testimonialT.E.Laheysmugmug
I've been fighting with the Flickr uploader for months. It keeps crashing and there is no support. PicBackMan works great! Very stable and faster and more features than the Yahoo Flicker uploader. Thanks!
