Getty and iStock hold submissions to a high editorial bar: captions must be accurate and keywords genuinely relevant. MetaBrain analyses the actual content and writes a caption that describes who, what and where, then ranks keywords so the essential terms lead — reducing the risk of rejection for irrelevant tagging.

You stay in control: ban terms you never want, require terms that must appear, and refine results before export. That correction loop teaches the tool your portfolio's style over time.

Works on the MetaBrain desktop app for macOS and in MetaBrain Studio in your browser — start on the free tier with 30 images, no card required.

FAQ

Does it work for both Getty Images and iStock?

Yes — the captions and keyword style suit both Getty Images and its iStock collection.

Can I force or block specific keywords?

Yes. The correction system lets you require keywords that must always appear and ban ones you never want.

Will it help avoid rejections for irrelevant keywords?

It generates keywords from the real visual content and ranks them by relevance, which lowers the chance of rejection for off-topic tagging.

Is my content uploaded anywhere?

Adult-content detection runs on your device, and your files are processed for metadata only — not redistributed.
