01 / The rejection question

Keywords aren’t the risk. Careless keywords are.

The first thing contributors ask is whether AI metadata gets accounts flagged. Fair question. Here is exactly how the output is constrained — and why the last word stays with you.

Nothing is submitted to an agency from SubmitAI. You review, export, upload.

  1. 01

    Read from the file

    Titles and keywords come from what is in the frame — not from a template, a caption, or a guess about your niche.

  2. 02

    Platform rules applied

    Adobe titles are cut cleanly at the 200-character line and keywords are formatted as a ranked list. Shutterstock gets a full description instead.

  3. 03

    Ordered by relevance

    Terms are ranked by how well they match the frame, so you start from a useful list instead of a wall of near-synonyms.

  4. 04

    Human approval, always

    Every field is editable. Remove a keyword in one click, fix a title, then export. Nothing leaves without your say-so.

  2. Step 02

    Fix what you don’t like

    Every title, description and keyword is a live field. Cut a term, add one, switch platform output and watch limits update.

  3. Step 03

    Ship one sheet

    Pro plans export a unified CSV ready for bulk portal import, with a row per asset and platform and the filename preserved.

03 / Batch

Fifty frames in.
One sheet out.

Pro plans process a batch at once and export a single CSV — one row per asset and platform. Filenames stay matched to rows, so importing back into your contributor account doesn’t become a second job.

Clips get keys too.

Video isn’t a still with a longer title. SubmitAI pulls keyframes and writes metadata that describes what is actually in the clip — then you trim the list before export.

06 / Questions

Straight answers.

Still unsure? The getting-started guide walks the whole flow.

Will AI keywords get my account flagged?

Metadata is generated strictly from the file content and kept inside each platform’s limits. You review and edit everything before export, and SubmitAI never submits to Adobe or Shutterstock on your behalf — the upload is yours.

How many credits do I get at signup?

10 free credits, no credit card required. You also get 10 free credits every month, so the tool stays usable for a trickle of uploads without a subscription.

Is batch processing available?

Yes, on Pro plans: up to 20 assets per batch on Starter, 50 on Creator and 100 on Agency.

Can I edit the generated metadata before exporting?

Every field is editable. Remove a keyword in one click, rewrite a title, add your own terms — then copy or export the result.

Which platforms are supported?

Adobe Stock and Shutterstock, each with its own formatting rules. Adobe output respects the 200-character title limit and comma-separated keywords; Shutterstock gets a full descriptive paragraph.

Is CSV export included?

Yes. Pro plans export a CSV formatted specifically for bulk contributor web & FTP import, one row per asset and platform with the original filename preserved.
