Use well-lit images with clear subjects. AI models perform best with good lighting and composition.
Avoid cluttered backgrounds. If the main subject is unclear, the AI may misidentify it.
Crop tightly. Focus on the main subject to give the AI the best chance of accurate analysis.

Experiment with multiple engines. Groq, Mistral, and OpenRouter may give different results for the same image. Use the engine that produces the most relevant keywords for your style.
Review and refine. AI-generated metadata is a starting point. Review the title and keywords before uploading — remove irrelevant keywords and add niche terms the AI might have missed.
Use custom prompts. In Settings, add a custom prompt like “Focus on colors and textures” or “Use formal, professional language” to steer the AI toward your preferred style.

Group similar images together. Processing a batch of similar images (e.g., all from the same shoot) helps the AI maintain consistency in keywords and categories.
Set an appropriate delay. If you’re processing 50+ images, set the delay to 3–5 seconds to avoid hitting rate limits.
Review in batches. After each batch, scan the results for any obvious errors before exporting.

Aim for 40–50 keywords. Adobe Stock rewards comprehensive keyword lists. Include synonyms, related concepts, and variations.
Order matters. The AI places the most important keywords first — this is what buyers see in search results.
Think like a buyer. What words would someone type to find your image? Include those.

Be factual, not creative. Adobe Stock titles should describe what’s in the image, not how it makes you feel.
Avoid subjective words. Don’t use “beautiful,” “amazing,” “stunning” — stick to objective descriptions.
Include key details. Colors, setting, number of subjects, and perspective all belong in a good title.

Trust the AI, but verify. The AI’s category choice is usually correct, but double-check if your image could fit multiple categories.
People images go to Category 13. If your image has recognizable people, make sure it’s categorized correctly.
Lifestyle vs. Business. Ask yourself: “Would a buyer looking for business content find this?” If yes, use Category 3.

Export CSV regularly. Don’t let too many results pile up — export after each batch to keep things organized.
Use History as a reference. If you shoot similar content regularly, check your History for past metadata you can reuse or adapt.
Save engine presets. If you switch between engines for different types of content, save each configuration as a preset for quick access.
