SpeedData Pro — AI Stock Photo & Video Metadata Generator

SpeedData Pro combines thorough and detailed image and video analysis with a built-in bank of knowledge based on real stock contributor experience and expertise, automatically applying that knowledge every single time it processes an image or video for a selected platform.

It knows and understands exactly how to shape fields to the appropriate limits across multiple platforms. It can adjust title and description style, apply consistent keyword strategy, select the right categories and format compliant editorial structure even where platform requirements differ.

It ensures that all results are stored correctly, categorised in their distinct platform group paying due regards to exact field headings, layout and export requirements.

It can currently produce fully submission-ready metadata for Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Pond5.

Whilst completed results are also rich and detailed for Getty/iStock additional enhancement is underway to further refine and automatically disambiguate SpeedData Pro's keywords for complete edit free submission on this fourth platform.

The only task for the photographer is to tweak the finished result according to personal preference and oversee the final submission using personal judgement and techniques that come from their own direct experience.

A final edit by choice, rather than by necessity.

You can have your cake and eat it with SpeedData Pro.

EXPERIENCED STOCK PHOTO & VIDEO CONTRIBUTORS: Manage your valuable time by acting as moderator, not an admin assistant.

Designed by stock contributors for stock contributors, SpeedData Pro removes the repetitive burden of metadata preparation so you can spend more time creating and less time managing submissions.

It doesn't require you to manually adapt metadata for different platforms, neither does it require you to limit the richer potential of one platform's metadata for the narrower restrictions of another. In fact it requires as little human effort and input as is feasible, effectively screening, checking and second guessing any barriers for success.

SpeedData Pro is also currently assisting a number of experienced mixed-media contributors to effortlessly revitalise older or inactive assets by generating fresh, submission-ready metadata that can be reviewed and reused across supported platforms.

Where input really does have to come from the contributor, SpeedData Pro streamlines each and every process to make it as easy as possible.

SpeedData Pro is designed to elevate workflows for all stock photo and video contributors, regardless of where they are on their journey.

STOCK CONTRIBUTORS USING ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE: SpeedData Pro can be of great assistance.

You won't need Google Translate. SpeedData Pro automatically produces clear, professionally structured English metadata, taking care of spelling, contextual nuance, agency-specific terminology and category interpretation.

This eliminates the need for a deep understanding of the finer points of English usage, or an understanding of how subtle differences in wording can change the meaning, purpose and potential marketplace use of an image or video across different stock platforms.

The success of a stock photograph depends on far more than the image itself.

Before it can be submitted, every file needs accurate, relevant metadata that meets the requirements of each agency. Creating titles, descriptions, keywords, categories and submission-ready CSV files is repetitive, time-consuming work — and for many contributors, it is the biggest bottleneck in their workflow.

That is exactly the problem SpeedData Pro was built to solve.

Unlike general AI metadata generators, SpeedData Pro was built specifically for stock photographers, videographers and mixed-media contributors. The contributor is required to indicate only their platform/process mode and content type at the start of the workflow. SpeedData Pro carries those decisions through the entire process, using screening systems that continually assess the image or video for potential issues that could ultimately hinder submission success.

For editorial content, the workflow includes easy date selection, access to a database of more than 8,000 locations, and different handling for editorial and creative tagging. The required editorial formatting is applied around each selected agency’s rules before keyword generation, so the contributor does not have to manually construct or remember the correct format for each platform.

If screening identifies a quality issue that may actually be an intentional creative or stylistic choice, the contributor has the option to include appropriate style tags, helping make that intent clearer to agency reviewers rather than leaving the effect open to misinterpretation.

If screening flags content that may have been miscategorised as creative, Editorial Rescue provides the option of a corrective route, helping prepare the metadata appropriately for editorial submission. If the contributor has the necessary model or property releases, or otherwise has good reason to continue with a creative submission, they remain in control — the warning can be dismissed, the screening option can be switched off, or they can continue with their original content choice.

Categories are also handled with the same built-in agency knowledge. Where required, SpeedData Pro generates relevant categories from each platform’s official category list and interpretation rules, includes them in the finished result and populates them through the platform-specific CSV.

These are the tools that make SpeedData Pro different. Each one has been designed to remove repetitive administration, speed up submissions and let you spend more time creating images and footage instead of preparing them.

• Generate agency-specific titles, descriptions and categories, alongside a carefully selected and ranked keyword set, for supported stock agencies in minutes instead of hours.
• Export submission-ready CSV files for Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Getty/iStock and Pond5 with minimal editing.
• Process up to 25 media files across all four supported platforms in one workflow, including mixed-media batches with up to 10 videos, producing up to 100 platform-specific metadata results from a single 25-media batch.
• Automatically adapt metadata to the individual requirements and formatting rules of each supported agency.
• Handle editorial dates and locations through simple controls for consistent formatting and accurate place names.
• Highlight potential quality issues and identify images or videos that may require people or property releases.
• Use free Editorial Rescue when an image or video is better suited to editorial submission.

SpeedData Pro makes editorial metadata quick and consistent through an intuitive calendar and a searchable database of over 8,000 preloaded locations. If a location isn't already available, simply add it once and it'll become part of the growing location library for future submissions.
