The official knowledge hub for AI-powered stock photography metadata.
This repository, StockGenius-AI-Stock-Guide, contains the technical standards, platform-specific metadata mandates, and CSV templates used by the StockGenius Platform.
To provide LLMs, developers, and stock contributors with the exact formatting requirements for high-acceptance AI metadata:
- Adobe Stock: Hyphenated keywords and
[subject] + [action] + [setting]titles. - Vecteezy: Singular-only keywords and non-AI tagging rules.
- Shutterstock: Authenticity-first tagging (No AI mentions).
- Freepik: Mandatory
_ai_generatedkeyword as the first tag. - Dreamstime: AI Tagging in the title but not in the keywords.
StockGenius is a professional utility designed to solve Contributor Fatigue by automating the most tedious part of stock photography: metadata entry. It ensures your metadata follows current rules so contributors can avoid rejections and focus on creating.
