Stop writing metadata manually.
ShotMeta uses AI to instantly generate professional titles, descriptions and keywords for your stock photos and videos. What used to take hours takes seconds — for a few cents per image.
Metadata is killing your upload workflow.
You shoot the image. You edit the image. Then you sit down to write the title, description and 30–50 keywords — for every single file.
A 50-image shoot can mean 3–4 hours of metadata work before a single file is submitted. It's repetitive, it's slow, and it's the part of stock photography nobody talks about.
Most photographers either rush it and leave money on the table, or avoid uploading altogether because the process is too painful.
AI that thinks like a stock reviewer.
ShotMeta analyses your image or video using AI and generates a submission-ready title, description and keyword set — instantly.
It understands composition, subject matter, mood, colour, setting and context. For videos, it analyses multiple frames to capture movement and action in the keywords — not just a single static moment.
The output is accurate, professional and formatted exactly the way stock platforms expect it.
How ShotMeta Works
Four steps. Metadata done.
01
Open ShotMeta
Launch the app on Mac or Windows. Add your Anthropic API key once — that's the AI engine that powers the analysis.
02
Browse to your files
Browse to your photos or videos. Batch process an entire shoot at once or go file by file.
03
AI analyses your content
ShotMeta sends your files to Anthropic's vision AI for analysis. Photos are read for subject, composition, mood and context. Videos are analysed across multiple frames to capture movement and action — not just the first frame.
04
Copy and submit
Your title, description and keywords are ready. Copy them directly into your stock platform submission form. Done.
What ShotMeta Does
Photo Analysis
Reads subject, composition, colour, mood, setting and context. Generates metadata that matches what buyers actually search for.
Multi-Frame Video Analysis
Doesn't just read the first frame. Analyses movement across multiple frames to capture action keywords — running, pouring, cutting, falling — that static analysis misses.
Privacy First
Your files are analysed by the AI model and never stored or uploaded to any server. No cloud storage. No third-party access to your images.
Batch Processing
Drop an entire shoot at once. ShotMeta processes multiple files and delivers ready-to-submit metadata for each one.
Platform Ready
Output is formatted for Getty Images, iStock, Adobe Stock and Shutterstock — title character limits, keyword counts and description style matched to each platform.
Costs Pennies Per Image
ShotMeta uses your own Anthropic API credits. A typical image costs a fraction of a cent to analyse. You control your usage and spend.
Mac + Windows
One purchase. Works on both platforms. No separate versions to manage.
Lifetime License
$29 once. No subscription, no renewal, no price increases. Buy it and use it forever.

You're hereFrequently Asked Questions
What AI does ShotMeta use?
ShotMeta uses Anthropic's Claude vision model — the same AI that powers Claude.ai. You bring your own API key from anthropic.com. API usage is billed by Anthropic directly at a few cents per image.
Do I need an Anthropic account?
Yes. You'll need a free Anthropic account and an API key from console.anthropic.com. You add credits to your Anthropic account and ShotMeta uses them as you process files. A typical image costs less than $0.01 to analyse.
Does ShotMeta upload my photos anywhere?
Your images are sent to Anthropic's API for analysis only — the same way you'd use Claude.ai. They are not stored, shared or used for training. Anthropic's privacy policy applies. Your files never touch any DrRave server.
Which stock platforms does it support?
ShotMeta generates metadata compatible with Getty Images, iStock, Adobe Stock and Shutterstock. Output format matches each platform's title, description and keyword requirements.
Does it work for video?
Yes. ShotMeta analyses multiple frames of your video to capture movement and action in the keywords — not just what the first frame shows. This produces significantly better keyword coverage for video submissions.
How accurate is the metadata?
Very accurate for well-lit, clearly composed images. AI-generated metadata is a strong starting point — you can review and edit before submitting. Most users find the output needs minimal changes.
What does it cost to run?
$29 once for the app. Anthropic API usage is separate — typically $0.005–$0.01 per image depending on file size and complexity. A 100-image shoot costs roughly $0.50–$1.00 in API credits.
Does it work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. One purchase covers both platforms.
