Xpiks is a Windows program, a specialized metadata editor and content manager developed for stock photographers and illustrators who upload projects to microstock platforms.
Keywording
Users can add, edit and rearrange metadata for photos, vectors and videos. It is possible to apply common keywords, titles and descriptions to groups of photos or illustrations with just a few clicks. The app includes automatic translation for phrases, helping to prepare data in multiple languages. This is particularly practical when submitting to international marketplaces.
Tools
There is a built-in spell checker that ensures that your metadata is free from typographical errors before submission. You also validate fields based on the requirements of various stock agencies, detecting missing or incorrectly formatted data. By catching errors early, you reduce the risk of rejections and save time on corrections.
Moreover, the software allows you to organize and prioritize keywords into specific groups or by relevance order. Such an approach improves how your content appears in search results. You can lock phrase groups to avoid accidental changes and reuse them across projects.
