FAQ
Answers to common questions
Quick details before you try the demo.
Can I use this as a free AI image keyword generator?
Yes. This page lets you upload one image, run a free secure demo, and preview a relevance-ranked stock keyword set before you create an account.
Do you store my API key?
Not in the browser-direct mode on this page. The key stays in browser memory for the current tab and is sent directly to OpenAI, not to Stocktag. This is separate from account-level BYOK inside Metadata Studio.
Is this fully local?
It is browser-direct, not offline. Stocktag servers are not in the request path for this mode, but the image and key still go from your browser to OpenAI so the model can process the image.
Why use Metadata Studio instead?
Metadata Studio is for real production work: batch processing, metadata editing, QA, portfolio consistency, and CSV/XMP exports. The browser-direct mode is intentionally limited to single-image validation.
Is the keyword generator free to try?
Yes. You can run one secure guest demo every 24 hours and preview sample keyword sets before signing in.
Does it work as a free Shutterstock keyword generator?
Yes. The guest demo is a free way to preview Shutterstock-style keyword output, then move into the dedicated Shutterstock page or full Metadata Studio workflow when you need deeper review.
How many keywords should I use?
Generate a relevance-ordered list, then keep the terms that best describe the subject, style, and usage.
Can I edit the keywords?
Absolutely. Review, re-order, or remove keywords before exporting your final list.
Does it work for multiple stock sites?
Yes. After signup, export CSV or XMP-ready metadata for major stock platforms.
