SellYourPhotos

SellYourPhotos is an AI-powered metadata optimization platform designed for stock photographers who want to save time on keywording, titling, and describing their photos while improving visibility on stock marketplaces. The tool analyzes uploaded images and generates SEO-optimized metadata including titles, descriptions, and keywords tailored to the requirements of major stock photography platforms. It uses AI trained on real stock photography metadata to produce outputs that match platform expectations, which helps reduce the risk of keyword spamming or irrelevant tags that could lead to account issues.

Key Features

• AI-Powered Metadata Generation: The AI has been trained on real stock photo metadata rather than generic image recognition models. It generates keywords, titles, and descriptions that match the formatting and style stock agencies expect, reducing hallucinations common with general-purpose AI tools. Multiple verification steps help ensure metadata quality and relevance.
• Batch Processing: Upload and process hundreds of photos simultaneously. The system handles automated metadata generation for large portfolios without requiring manual per-image editing. This is especially valuable for photographers with extensive libraries who need to process submissions efficiently.
• Multi-Platform Export: Generate metadata optimized for Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty Images, iStock, 500px, and Alamy. The platform produces platform-specific CSV files formatted for direct upload to each agency, reducing the time spent reformatting metadata for different marketplaces.
• Credit-Based Pricing: One-time credit packs replace recurring subscriptions. Users purchase image credits and only pay for what they use, with unused credits rolling over on higher-tier plans. This model suits photographers with variable submission volumes.

How It Works

Users upload their photos through the web interface, and the AI analyzes each image to generate complete metadata within seconds. The output includes keywords, titles, and descriptions formatted for the selected stock platform. Users can export the metadata as platform-specific CSV files and upload them alongside their images to their chosen stock agencies. The workflow is designed to be straightforward: drag and drop photos, let the AI process them, and export ready-to-use metadata files.

Pricing

SellYourPhotos offers a free tier with 5 image credits for testing the platform. Paid plans start at $9 for 100 credits (Basic), $39 for 500 credits (Standard), $69 for 1000 credits (Plus), and $299 for 5000 credits (Pro). All paid plans include advanced AI analysis and batch processing capabilities. Higher tiers offer a lower per-photo cost, with the Pro plan bringing the cost down to $0.06 per image. Enterprise plans are available for customers needing custom solutions or larger credit volumes. Credits are non-refundable and must be used within their validity period according to the plan terms.

Use Cases

The platform is best suited for photographers managing large portfolios who find manual metadata entry time-consuming and costly. It helps contributors who submit to multiple stock agencies reduce the repetitive work of formatting metadata for each platform. The tool is also useful for photographers transitioning to stock photography who need guidance on effective keywording practices. By automating the metadata process, users can spend more time shooting and less time on administrative tasks while maintaining metadata quality across their submissions.
