AI Metadata Generator for Adobe Stock
Stop hand-typing titles and keywords for every file. Point Lemika at a folder, and it gives each image an Adobe-ready title, a description, and a full set of relevance-ranked keywords – written straight into the file’s metadata, ready to upload. Need a CSV for Adobe Stock? That’s one click too. It’s shaped around Adobe’s published guidelines, including the fact that your first 10 keywords carry the most search weight.
How Adobe Stock metadata actually works
- Title – one field, up to 200 characters. Adobe has no separate description field for commercial content, so the title is the single descriptive line buyers and search see. It carries real weight – Lemika writes a full, readable sentence for it.
- Keywords – up to 49, ordered by relevance. The first 10 carry the most weight in Adobe’s search, so the order matters as much as the words. Adobe’s own advice: 15–35 strong keywords usually beat padding toward the cap.
- One category per file. Adobe has 21 categories, and it auto-suggests one when you upload – you can keep it or change it.
- Metadata Adobe reads on upload. Adobe reads the IPTC/XMP fields embedded in your files, so titles and keywords come through automatically – no retyping. A per-stock CSV is there too if you’d rather upload that way.
- AI content is accepted. You tick “Created using generative AI tools” on each AI asset. Separately, your titles and keywords can’t reference real people, brands, or artist names.
- Editorial is accepted too. Adobe takes editorial content, which uses a stricter caption format (place, date, description). Lemika has an Editorial mode for these.

How Lemika generates Adobe-ready metadata
- Add a folder. Point Lemika at a folder of photos, illustrations, or video.
- It describes each file. The AI reads the actual image and writes a specific English title and description – a natural sentence, not a string of keywords. No “image of”, no filler.
- It builds ranked keywords. Single, relevant terms ordered by relevance, with the strongest 10 first – the way Adobe weights them.
- It respects your settings. Set your target title length and keyword count once, and Lemika applies them to every file.
- Ready to upload. The metadata is already inside each file (IPTC/XMP), so your files go straight to Adobe Stock as they are. Prefer a CSV? Export one in a click.

Frequently asked questions
Adobe accepts up to 49 per file. Lemika lets you generate up to 50, so if you set 50, Adobe keeps the first 49 on upload. Either way the strongest keywords go first, because Adobe weights the first 10 most – and Adobe’s own tip is that 15–35 sharp keywords usually beat filling the whole list.
The title field holds up to 200 characters, and it’s the single descriptive line Adobe’s search uses. In Lemika you set the title length you want, and it generates every title within that range.
No. For commercial content the title is the single descriptive field. Lemika still generates a description you can reuse for other agencies or your own records.
Two ways. Lemika writes the title and keywords straight into each file (IPTC/XMP), and Adobe reads them automatically when you upload the image – nothing to retype. Or use the CSV export: one spreadsheet mapping each filename to its metadata, uploaded in one go. For Adobe the embedded data is enough; the CSV is just there if you prefer it.
Yes – you mark each one as “Created using generative AI tools” on upload and follow Adobe’s content rules (no real people, brands, or artist names in the image or its metadata). Lemika handles the metadata; the AI disclosure is a checkbox you set when uploading.
Yes. Editorial assets use their own caption structure (place, date, description). Lemika has an Editorial mode for them – you add the date, country, and city.
Yes – Lemika gives you 20 free generations once you confirm your email, no card required. And the manual EXIF editor stays free forever, with no account at all.
