Why metadata decides who buys

Same shoot. 79 searches instead of 8.

Copy one keyword set onto 39 near-identical photos and they all wait for the same search. A buyer picks one; the other 38 are never seen. Keep the who and where shared, and give every frame its own why.

8
keywords on all 39 photos

The facts of the series: who and where.

79
different keywords across the folder

Each one a search this shoot can appear in. No misleading data.

42
niche keywords on 5 photos or fewer

Small searches where only a few of your frames compete.

Real counts from one folder of 39 balcony photos, October 2026.

How it works

Three steps from a raw shoot to export-ready metadata. Watch the whole flow below, or read the three steps.

The full workflow in two minutes: upload, Sort for you, generate, review, regenerate and export.
1

Upload a shoot, sort it in two lines

Upload photos or video as one folder. For photos, Sort for you (beta) asks what the shoot is about and who is in it, then proposes folders by who is in each frame and what they are doing. Already sorted? Your folder names count as context.

2

Get a buyer angle per file

Every file gets its own title, description and keywords in English, the strongest keywords first.

3

Review, then export

Edit anything, drag keywords into your order, add context and regenerate. Export a CSV matched by filename.

How Sort for you works →

Stock photo and video keywording that thinks like a buyer

Describing pixels is easy. Selling a frame means naming the reason someone needs it.

A buyer angle for every frame

Near-identical shots get different titles and niche keywords, so each one can win its own search.

No guessing about people

Age and ethnicity come only from your notes. If it is not in your notes, it is not in the metadata.

The whole clip, start to finish

Video descriptions name the action as it happens, even a two-second moment in the middle.

Agency vocabulary, ready to upload

Keywords already in the agency's own terms, exported as a CSV matched by filename. Two meanings? You pick once.

Add context, regenerate free

One sentence instead of 23 edits. The first regenerate of every file is free.

Your keyword order, kept

The strongest words come first. Drag any keyword into place and the export keeps your order.

Questions contributors ask

Can I try it for free?

Yes. Every new account gets 50 free credits, enough for 50 photos or 16 videos. No card needed and no subscription.

Does it guess my model's age or ethnicity?

No. They come only from what you write about the cast. Nothing else is added.

Do I have to sort my photos into folders myself?

No. Sort for you (beta) proposes folders from two lines you write: what the shoot is about and who is in it. You review and rename them before anything moves. It sorts photos today; video is coming.

Does it work for video?

Yes. Clips get titles, descriptions and keywords in the same batch workflow, including duration keywords and bulk title tools.

Can I write context in my own language?

Yes. Write folder names and notes in the language you think in. The metadata always comes out in English.

Do credits expire?

No. There is no subscription and credits never expire.

Do I keep the rights to my files?

Always. Your files are yours; we write metadata for them.

Your next shoot deserves more than one search.
