IPTC/XMP Embedding

SendStock writes titles, descriptions, and keywords directly into your files' IPTC and XMP metadata fields before upload. This means stock agencies read your metadata automatically — no manual copy-pasting after upload. Supported formats: JPG, PNG, EPS, SVG for images and MP4, MOV for video. Keywords are normalized automatically before writing.
