Sunday evening, back from the trip
400 photos on the card. Which 40 are worth listing?
StockPilot AI looks at every frame, tells you which ones a stock buyer is most likely to want, and writes the title and keywords for each, so the upload you kept putting off takes one evening.
Illustrative scores. A score is an estimate of demand, never a promise that a photo sells.
Buyers don’t search for IMG_4821.JPG
They search for “misty lake sunrise”. Here is one file before and after StockPilot AI.

Off the camera. No title, no keywords, nothing a search can find.
Title · Adobe Stock
Misty mountain lake at sunrise with pine trees along the shore
Calm alpine lake at dawn, low fog over the water, evergreen silhouettes on both shores, warm light on the far peaks. Horizontal, no people, room for text in the sky.

Questions
What does StockPilot AI actually do?
You drop in a batch of photos. It scores how sellable each one is, writes a title, description and keywords, and exports a file formatted for stock sites like Shutterstock and Adobe Stock, so the metadata goes up in one pass.
Which sites does it export for?
Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Dreamstime, Depositphotos, Alamy, 123RF and Pond5, each in its own CSV columns. The tagged ZIP writes the title and keywords into each JPEG for sites that read embedded metadata.
Do you own or resell my photos?
No. You keep all rights. Photos are stored privately and only processed to score and describe them.
Does a good score mean my photo gets accepted?
No. Acceptance and earnings are always the site's and the buyer's call. The score helps you decide what to list first.
Is there a free plan?
Yes: 50 photo scores and 10 AI metadata generations a month, with full CSV export.
