Keywords are labels that you can create and assign to each of the photos in your Photo Library or Photo Album. Keywords can be useful when you are searching through your account for specific photos.

Each uploaded Photo exists just once in your account in the Photo Library. Once a Photo is in your library, it can be placed in as many albums as you like. If you have added a keyword to a photo in your Photo Library and then you add that photo to a Photo Album, the keywords that you have added to your photo will still show up in the Photo Album. You can also edit your Photo Album and change the keyword for the photo as it appears in your Photo Album.
