# Filtering the Gallery

You can filter the Gallery by **Year**, **Album**, **People**, or **Location** to quickly find specific images.

1. Go to the **Gallery** page.
2. At the top of the page, locate the filter area containing the available filtering options.
3. Use the available filters:
   - **Year** — Select a specific year or **All Years**.
   - **Album** — Select a specific album or **All Albums**.
   - **People** — Select a specific person or **All People**.
   - **Location** — Enter a location in the field. Results update automatically as you enter text.
4. You can use multiple filters together to narrow the results further.

The Gallery will update automatically to display images matching your selected filters.

**Note:** If a filter is not available in the filter area, it may be deactivated in the **Image Fields** section of **Gallery Manager**.
