Getty & iStock controlled-vocabulary keywords in seconds. Not nights.

PixTagger is built by an exclusive Getty Images and iStock contributor (active since 2005, with 55,000+ accepted photos and 10,000+ video clips). We don't guess what stock contributors need — we live it.

Four steps: (1) Sign in and pick Photos or Videos mode in the dashboard. (2) Optionally type Shoot Notes (location, model, brief) — do this before you drop, so the context applies to the whole batch. (3) Drag a batch of files (or a whole folder) into the upload zone — tagging starts automatically the moment they land, so there's no separate "generate" button: we run vision AI per file (3 frames per video), filter Getty's controlled vocabulary, and build the title, description and keyword list. (4) Review the results in the table, edit any keyword inline if you want, then download the CSV or copy hashtags for Meta. For a mixed shoot, run two batches (one per mode). From drop to CSV: usually under 60 seconds.

Photos: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP — up to 50 MB per file. Videos: MP4, MOV, M4V — these are the formats Getty and Adobe Stock accept (longer clips are sampled at start, middle, end). Each batch is one media type — pick Photos or Videos mode in the dashboard before dropping files.

No — tag them as-is. ProRes (including 422 HQ) works directly and is a great master format for Getty/iStock; large clips just take a little longer to process in the browser. Important: tag the exact file you'll submit. The file name, including its extension, in the exported CSV has to match the file you upload — Getty's DeepMeta and qHero match rows to files by full file name, so a converted "clip.mp4" would not attach to the "clip.mov" you deliver. Tagging your actual .mov keeps the names lined up automatically.

Yes. Each drop is capped at 100 photos or 30 videos — videos are lower because we decode three frames from every clip right in your browser before anything is sent, which is heavier on the tab than a photo resize. But that cap is per drop, not per export: keep dropping more batches and they stack in the same review screen and download as a single combined CSV. So if you have 200 clips going to Getty in one upload, drop them in batches and export one CSV at the end. Each file is 1 credit, and re-dropping a file that's already in the export is skipped so you're never charged twice.

Yes. Every file shows up in a results table with its generated title, description and keyword list. Click any keyword to remove it; type to add your own. Changes apply only to the export you download — your account history keeps the original AI output too, so you can compare or re-run.

Adobe CSV columns: Filename, Title, Keywords (max 49), Category, Releases. Getty CSV columns: file name, created date, title, description, country, brief code, keywords (max 50, all from Getty's official controlled vocabulary). Both formats are import-ready — drop them straight into Adobe Stock Contributor or Getty ESP without reformatting.

PixTagger isn't a single "describe this image" call. We run a layered pipeline tuned specifically for stock marketplaces: a vision pass writes a buyer-focused title, a two-sentence commercial description, and a keyword list ordered strongest-first (the leading keywords carry the most search weight on Adobe Stock and Getty). For video, we read three frames in time order from every clip and compare them to detect real camera movement — Zoom In, Panning, Tracking Shot, Aerial View — that single-frame tools miss. A second pass then maps your keywords onto Getty's official controlled vocabulary and checks each term against what's actually in the frame, so your Getty CSV passes validation without invented tags. We build on proven OpenAI vision models, but the value is in this stock-specific workflow — not the raw model.

For every video file, PixTagger extracts three representative frames (start, middle, end), runs vision AI on each, and merges the keywords. This catches motion, scene changes, and story arcs that single-frame tools miss. Each video counts as one video credit, regardless of length.

Yes — but in two separate batches. Pick Photos mode in the dashboard, drop your photos, generate the Photos CSV. Then switch to Videos mode and do the same for the videos. This matches how Getty and Adobe Stock actually accept submissions (separate uploads for photos and videos), so you'll be uploading them separately on the receiving end too. Your Shoot Notes can stay the same across both batches.

Yes. Our Getty CSV export uses Getty's official whitelist of approved keywords, so your submissions don't get rejected for invalid terms.

No. Files are processed and deleted within minutes. We never sell, share, or train on your images. Your work stays yours.

No. PixTagger sells one-time credit packs, not subscriptions — there's nothing to cancel and no monthly billing. 1 credit = 1 file, and credits stay on your account until you use them.
