See it in action

One image. Processed in seconds.

This is real MetaBrain output — title with confidence score, description, and 45 scored keywords. No editing, no templates.

Sample image processed by MetaBrain
woman_adjusting_glasses.jpg

You shoot hundreds of photos and videos.
Tagging them takes longer than the shoot.

Professional microstock photographers spend 3–5 minutes per image writing titles, descriptions, and keyword sets. For a 200-image shoot, that's up to 16 hours of repetitive, low-value work.

  • ·Every other tool gives the same output to everyone — regardless of your niche, style, or agency.
  • ·They don't adapt. A wildlife photographer and a corporate videographer get identical keyword logic.
  • ·When Shutterstock or Adobe Stock change their rules, template tools don't update — you do.
  • ·MetaBrain learns from your corrections. Ban a word once — it stays banned. Add a term — it becomes required. Permanently.
  • ·Agency guidelines are monitored by the MetaBrain team and pushed live. You stay compliant without touching the app.
  • ·We're not developers — we're stock contributors, just like you. MetaBrain was built from our own frustrations and expectations, with one goal: maximum output quality and a workflow so simple it takes just a couple of clicks.

Four Processing Modes

Four distinct workflows built for different shooting scenarios. Pick the one that fits your task and get started.

How it works

01

Drop your files

Drag images or videos directly into MetaBrain. Supports JPEG, PNG, TIFF, WEBP, EPS, AI, SVG, MP4, MOV and more.

02

AI generates metadata

The AI engine analyses your content and returns a scored title, description, and up to 80 keywords in seconds.

03

Review and export

Edit any chip, confirm the result, then write metadata directly to your files or export as CSV for bulk upload.

All modes in action

Four workflows. One tool.

MetaBrain Mode A: Style Transfer

Upload reference images to define a visual style. MetaBrain extracts the stylistic pattern and applies it to every new image — perfect for editorial series or brand consistency.

Features

Correction Intelligence

MetaBrain builds a personal style rulebook from your edits. Remove a keyword 3 times and it is permanently banned. Add one 3 times and it becomes mandatory. Title and description patterns are remembered too — and applied automatically in every mode.

Ground Truth

AI misread your image? Tell it what is actually true in plain text — demographics, emotion, location, commercial intent — and it rewrites title, description, and keywords to match, with no hedging. Your first correction on every image is free.

Relevance Scores

Every keyword is scored 0–100 for how closely it matches what a buyer would search. Bright chips are core terms, mid-tone chips are supporting long-tail — set your own threshold and triage the weak tail in seconds.

IP & Brand Scanner

Free, one-click scan for logos, trademarks, licence plates, and named storefronts that need a property release. Flagged objects are boxed directly on the thumbnail — decide to license as editorial, retouch, or exclude before you submit.

Inspector

One click audits every result against agency requirements — title/description length, banned terms, duplicate keywords, and spelling against a 46,000-word dictionary that catches even a single missing or extra letter.

Rejection Predictor

Before AI processing even starts, MetaBrain runs 5 technical checks on every image: resolution, sharpness, exposure, noise, and color cast. Issues are flagged with colored badges — catch rejection-prone files before you submit.

Trend Score

Every result gets a market-demand score from 0–100, matched against live agency creative briefs. Open the full Trend Panel for matched briefs, oversaturated keywords to avoid, and personalised trending terms to add — before you upload.

Write & Export

MetaBrain writes Title, Description, and Keywords directly into your JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and video files via exiftool — no copy-paste. Export as CSV in 17 agency-specific profiles (Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty, iStock, and more), XMP sidecar, JSON, or DOCX.

Four Languages

Full UI and AI output in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. Switch in one click — no app restart needed.

Privacy First

Your images are processed in memory and never permanently stored on our servers. We never use your content to train AI models. No selling your data. Ever.

Referral Program

Share your personal link from Settings. When a friend signs up and makes their first payment, you both receive +200 credits — automatically.
