# Auto Metadata AI v5.0 — AI Metadata Generator for Stock Photos & Videos

> AI-powered metadata generator for Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images and Pond5. Generates titles, descriptions and up to 49 keywords per asset, then embeds them into the file (XMP/IPTC) and exports per-platform CSV.

## What is Auto Metadata AI?

Auto Metadata AI is a Windows desktop application that uses OpenAI vision models (gpt-4.1-mini and gpt-4.1-nano) to automatically generate stock-photo metadata: title, description, and up to 49 keywords. It is built for stock photographers and footage creators uploading to Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images, iStock, and Pond5.

Current version: **v5.0.0** (released 2026).

## What's new in v5.0

- **Workspace** with folder organization (Recent + Pinned), so multi-batch jobs stay tidy.
- **Inline metadata editor** — edit title, description and keywords directly in the app, with Save and Revert per asset (the AI baseline is never lost).
- **Two new vision models**: `gpt-4.1-mini` (richer descriptions) and `gpt-4.1-nano` (cheapest, fastest). Switch per batch from the toolbar.
- **60% cheaper API**: ~$0.0002 per image with nano (about $0.20 per 1,000 images).
- Pro license holders receive v5 and all future releases at no additional cost.

## Key Features

- **Title + description + 49 keywords** generated per image or video.
- **XMP/IPTC embedding**: metadata is written into the file itself, so Shutterstock, Adobe Stock and Getty read it automatically on upload.
- **Per-platform CSV export**: Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images, Pond5 — pre-formatted, no reformatting required.
- **Bulk processing**: ~10 assets every 3–4 seconds with the nano model. No file-size limit, no per-day cap on Pro.
- **Photos and video in one workflow**: JPG, JPEG, PNG, MP4, MOV.
- **Bring-your-own OpenAI key**: zero markup on API cost.

## FAQ

**Q: How does Auto Metadata AI generate stock metadata?**
A: It sends each image (or a representative video frame) to an OpenAI vision model (gpt-4.1-mini or gpt-4.1-nano), which returns a title, description and up to 49 keywords formatted for stock platforms. The metadata is then embedded into the file's XMP/IPTC fields and a per-platform CSV is generated.

**Q: Can I use this for Shutterstock keywording?**
A: Yes. v5 generates up to 49 keywords per image and exports a Shutterstock-formatted CSV, plus embeds the metadata into the file so Shutterstock reads it on upload.

**Q: Which stock platforms are supported?**
A: Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images / iStock, and Pond5.

**Q: How much does it cost to run?**
A: ~$0.0002 per image with the nano model (about $0.20 per 1,000 images). You bring your own OpenAI key and pay OpenAI directly — there is no markup.

**Q: Can I edit the AI-generated metadata?**
A: Yes. v5 ships with a full inline editor. Edit title, description and keywords per asset; Save persists your changes; Revert restores the original AI output.

**Q: Does Pro include future versions?**
A: Yes. The $75 Pro license is one-time and includes v5 and every future release at no extra cost.
