The C**rop to Square** checkbox will allow you crop and focus the image you are uploading.

The outlined box will turn green if processed correctly, or red if there is an error.  ![Image upload box with a dashed border reading 'Click here to choose a file' or drag a file to upload, supporting JPG, PNG, and GIF file types](https://docs.youthcenter.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Mugshot-Upload-Box-1024x246.png) Supported file types include JPG, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. If a file has been uploaded in error, or if you are removing an old file and replacing it with a new one, you can hover over the file you wish to remove and select the remove file link from the bottom of the picture. **Note:** Some special characters are not allowed in the file name. For best results do not use special characters in your file names. #### **Tags and Flags** Tags and Flags are highly visible at-a-glance representations of data that is common across multiple clients. Adding a Tag or Flag to a Client Image will allow you to see that information in the General Profile Client Images section or in a Client Image detail screen.  Your administrators can modify what tags and flags are available to you in the Client Image editor. A Client Image can have as many tags as required, but can only ever have a single flag associated with it. ![Client Images section showing a sample client's Front Client Image thumbnail with a Primary tag, and a red arrow graphic pointing to the Primary tag](https://docs.youthcenter.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/image-3.png) **To add a tag to a Client Image:** - Click inside the tags type-ahead box - Begin typing the tag name or scroll through the list of tags - Select the desired tag from the drop-down - Repeat as needed - Press the blue save button in the bottom right **To remove a tag from a Client Image:** - Click inside the tags type-ahead box - Use your keyboards arrow keys to position the cursor to the right of the tag you wish to remove - Press backspace - Repeat as needed - Press the blue save button in the bottom right **Note:** You can also clear all tags from a client by clicking inside the tags type-ahead box and selecting Clear selection #### **Sharing and Daily Log Options** You can optionally choose to notify other YouthCenter users in your organization about the Client Image by selecting the share button before pressing save, and then selecting which users or lists you would like to notify.
