Everything you need to know about AI metadata generation, in-file embedding, security architecture, and automated microstock uploads.
How does Exifio embed metadata into vector files?
For EPS vector files, Exifio utilizes a high-speed native Rust engine that writes standard IPTC and XMP metadata directly into the file header. For .AI (Adobe Illustrator) files, when you load your files, you can export a companion CSV metadata manifest with 1 click whenever you need it.
How does Exifio optimize metadata for microstock SEO?
Exifio does not just produce generic image descriptions. Behind every generation is our proprietary SEO prompt architecture, refined over years of hands-on microstock experience, sales data analysis, and algorithm testing. Exifio directs the AI to identify commercial buyer-intent keywords, concept tags, and exact stock taxonomies for Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, and other major marketplaces. We don't make empty promises about "magic selling tags" — we provide a battle-tested tagging methodology built to maximize your real search visibility and downloads.
What do I need to start generating metadata with Exifio?
Just install Exifio and paste your Google AI Studio API key into the settings. You can get a free API key in literally a few seconds using your standard Google account, or link your personal paid key for maximum batch throughput. Your key is stored encrypted locally on your device, and you are instantly ready to tag and upload files with zero latency.
How does Exifio protect my microstock passwords and credentials?
Your credentials never leave your PC. Exifio is a standalone desktop application with zero cloud storage. All passwords and FTP tokens are encrypted locally on your device and transmitted strictly directly to the official microstock servers. No third-party servers ever touch or see your data.
Which microstocks are supported for 1-click background uploads?
Exifio supports all major contributor platforms: Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, Magnific, Vecteezy, Depositphotos, Dreamstime, 123RF, Alamy, VectorStock, and Pixta via high-speed parallel SFTP, FTPS, and direct submission protocols.
Is there a free trial to test Exifio?
Exifio includes a fully-functional Free Demo with zero commitment and no credit card required. Right upon installation, you get 75 complimentary AI generations to test all capabilities on your real files — from in-file metadata embedding (EPS, JPG, PNG) to 1-click microstock uploading. When you're ready to scale, affordable monthly plans start at just $6/mo.
What are the system requirements?
Exifio is optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit). It requires an active internet connection for AI metadata generation and uploading to microstocks.
