processing happens in real-time, and your files are immediately discarded after metadata generation.

MKV). For videos, we extract multiple frames for comprehensive analysis.

the content and generate accurate metadata. Free users can upload videos up to 50MB, while Pro users
have no file size limits.
What's the file size limit?

Can I edit the generated metadata?
Absolutely! After generation, you can edit titles, add/remove/lock keywords, change categories, and
regenerate specific items. The editor is designed to give you full control while saving time.
Metadata Best Practices
Why does metadata matter for stock?
Good metadata is crucial for discoverability. Buyers find your content through search, so optimized
titles and keywords directly impact your sales. Poor metadata means your content won't appear in
relevant searches, regardless of quality.
How can I improve my acceptance rates?
Use Metadataly's AI-generated metadata to ensure compliance with platform rules (no brand names, no
technical specs, no spam). Our Pro feature includes AI Approval Prediction that tells you if your
content is likely to pass Adobe Stock review before uploading.
What are common rejection reasons?
Common rejections include: brand names in keywords, technical specs (4K, HDR), spam keywords,
irrelevant keywords, poor quality titles, and trademark violations. Metadataly automatically filters
these issues.
Should I use AI or custom categories?
AI categories are highly accurate (95%+ match rate), but custom categories give you full control. We
recommend using AI suggestions and only switching to custom when you need specific categorization.
