Shutterstock uses a description rather than a title, and it actively flags keyword spam — irrelevant or padded keywords can get an image rejected or hurt your account. StockPhotoTags writes a tight, accurate description and a keyword set that stays relevant and within the 50-keyword limit.

It suggests up to two categories and exports in Shutterstock's exact CSV column order, so the same batch you tagged for Adobe Stock also submits cleanly to Shutterstock without re-typing anything.

Shutterstock metadata — FAQ

Does Shutterstock use a title or a description?
A description — a clear sentence up to about 200 characters. StockPhotoTags writes it for you, plus the keywords and categories.
Will the keywords trigger Shutterstock's spam filter?
No — it keeps keywords relevant and within the 50-keyword limit instead of padding, which is exactly what Shutterstock's spam checks look for.
Which categories does it set?
Up to two categories from Shutterstock's list, chosen to match the image's subject.
