Finding things
Search by tag from any page. The search syntax page covers filters, ranges and sorting.
Tagging
Tags are the whole point of a booru. Tag what is actually visible: characters, the series,
the artist, and what is happening. Tags use underscores instead of spaces
(long_hair, not long hair).
Tags fall into categories, each shown in its own colour:
- Artist — who drew it
- Copyright — the series or franchise
- Character — who is depicted
- General — everything else
- Meta — facts about the file itself
Uploading
Duplicates are rejected automatically. New accounts have uploads reviewed before they appear publicly — contribute good tags and that restriction lifts on its own.
Blacklisting
Add tags to your blacklist and posts carrying them disappear from every listing. Safe mode is a stronger switch: it hides everything not rated safe.
Pools, notes and the wiki
Pools group posts in order (comic chapters, sets). Notes are translation boxes drawn onto an image. The wiki documents tags — every tag can have a page explaining what it means.
API
There is a read-only JSON API under /api, plus a Gelbooru-compatible
/index.php?page=dapi endpoint. Generate an API key in your
settings for a higher rate limit.
