Photoshop edits metadata
one file at a time. We do batches.
Adobe Photoshop's File Info panel edits IPTC and EXIF — but only for one image at a time, and requires a $20+/month subscription. MetaImage batch-edits hundreds of images in your browser, with AI generating SEO-optimized metadata automatically.

The Photoshop workflow bottleneck for metadata
Batch metadata is impossible in Photoshop
Photoshop's File Info dialog is single-file only. Editing 100 images means opening each one, clicking File › File Info, and saving. MetaImage processes 100 images in a single batch.
AI generation doesn't exist in Photoshop
Photoshop gives you blank IPTC fields. MetaImage's AI analyzes each image and writes SEO-optimized titles, descriptions, and keyword sets tailored for stock platforms.
Photoshop costs $20–$55/month
If your only task is metadata, that is an expensive bottleneck. MetaImage's free tier handles 5 images/month. Pro is a fraction of the cost of Creative Cloud.
No browser version of Photoshop metadata
Even Photoshop on the web (photoshop.adobe.com) does not expose metadata editing. MetaImage works in any browser, on any device.
