Save Time and Deliver Metadata-Perfect Files Every Time
Freelance photographers often spend hours manually editing photo metadata — risking inconsistent fields or missing IPTC tags that can cost them sales or syndication opportunities.
How MetadataAI Helps
Batch-edit Exif, IPTC, and XMP tags in seconds
Automatically populate copyright, credit, and usage rights
Avoid client rejections due to missing metadata fields
Use Cases
Event Photographer Delivering to Multiple Clients – After shooting a corporate event, a photographer needs to deliver photos to two agencies and the client. MetadataAI creates agency-specific metadata templates so each set has the correct credits, usage rights, and captions.
Stock Contributor Uploading to Multiple Platforms – A photographer selling images on Newscom, Adobe Stock, and Getty uses MetadataAI to automatically apply and format keyword sets differently for each platform’s submission standards.
Travel Photographer on Tight Deadlines – While on the road, a travel photographer bulk-applies metadata from a saved preset before uploading images directly to their editor’s FTP server, cutting delivery time in half.
Metadata Consistency at Enterprise Scale
Large agencies handle thousands of images daily from different contributors — all with varied metadata quality.
How MetadataAI Helps
Normalize metadata from diverse sources
Auto-fill missing fields to meet syndication standards (e.g., IPTC compliance)
Integrate with ExifTool composite tags for smarter updates
Use Cases
Global Newswire Content Ingestion – An international newswire receives photos from freelancers in 12 countries. MetadataAI automatically normalizes all location data to GPS coordinates and country codes for consistent publication.
Sports Agency with Real-Time Publishing – A sports photo agency needs to distribute images within minutes of capture. MetadataAI fills in missing IPTC tags like player names and event details before files hit the live feed.
Historical Archive Cleanup Project – A large media organization is digitizing its 50-year-old print archive. Custom prompting auto-fills missing creator, date, and copyright fields from a spreadsheet of historical records.
Metadata That Holds Up in Court
Law enforcement and legal teams require metadata accuracy to maintain chain of custody and evidence integrity.
How MetadataAI Helps
Preserve original Exif timestamps during edits
Add or update custom XMP namespaces for legal requirements
Use Cases
Police Department Bodycam Still Processing – Bodycam footage is exported to still images for evidence review. Generate embeds officer badge numbers, case IDs, and timestamps with custom prompt configuration.
Crime Scene Unit Cataloging – A CSI team photographs a large outdoor scene. MetadataAI adds useful metadata such as location details, objects detected, and descriptions.
Preserving History with Metadata Integrity
Cultural institutions often need highly customized metadata structures to catalog historical works accurately.
How MetadataAI Helps
Support for custom XMP namespaces tailored to archival needs
Bulk-apply metadata to large digitization projects
Improve compliance with internal cataloging standards
Use Cases
Digitizing Rare Manuscripts – A national library uses MetadataAI to embed collection IDs, condition notes, and digitization technician names into each file’s custom XMP fields.
Art Exhibition Preparation – A museum preparing an online exhibition tags all images with artist name, medium, creation date, and provenance so curators can filter and display them accurately on the website.
Collaborative Academic Project – An archive shares high-res artifact images with multiple universities. MetadataAI embeds unique partner institution IDs into a dedicated metadata namespace for each collaborator.
