Synonimise [opacity] and [transparency]?
YES
opacity and transparency are the same thing and should be tag synonyms. The tag with the fewest questions should be made obsolete.

Create a Canva tag
I learnt of a new moderator super power today: Bypassing the tag similarity check.
Anyway, here you go: canva. I’ll leave the rest to you.

burninate [font-matching]
This just looks to me like a synonym of font-pairing. We can go ahead and create the link if there's no objection.

Merge [presentation] with [presentation-design]

One is about designing presentations; the other about presenting designs... There is certainly overlap but it is an important distinction. It is, e.g., the difference between ...

Merge [photo-editing] and [image-editing]
To be pedantic: every photo is an image, but not every image is a photo. As long as they are correctly applied, I do see a use for both of these tags. There are certainly techniques that only (or ...

Rename tag [embedded]
We renamed embedded to embed, and made both embedded and embedding synonyms. Thanks for catching that! Changes may still be caching.

Do people read Tags before the question body?
It never hurts to be clear.
Many users don't see the tags until after the fact. Mentioning what application you are using, if necessary, in the question somewhere (anywhere) always leads to a ...

Should we add the tag "File Conversion"?
Makes sense to me. Go ahead, if the tag turns out not to work or have way too little questions, we can always burninate it later.

Synonymize [web-applications] with [website-design]

Is there any use to the [images] tag?
I agree with @Dom. (see it happens)
The image is similar to resolution or color or any of a dozen others.
It's not a great tag in itself, but it does narrow a question down into a specific sub-...

Is there any use to the [images] tag?
I find it useful when combined with other tags. Sometimes I can almost spell out the title with the tags.

Burninate [scale]
scaling has now been merged into resize which was a more common tag for the same questions. It was also made a synonym to avoid future instances.

Merge suggestion: [layout] and [page-layout]
Ok, so after some more thought I've slightly changed my mind on how I think we should handle this. My suggestion...
We should have two separate tags:

Are [information-graphics], [data-visualization], and [information-design] all necessary?
Good question, and I agree:
information graphics should be removed.
Data visualisation: data based. There are clear numbers involved. Usually stuff like charts, graphs, timelines, networks, maps.

Are you allowed to tag questions by domain?
I think this is a slippery slope.
In all probability the maps and games tags should be removed if they don't drop off due to no usage by themselves.
It would be a mess to have a tag for every ...
