IPTC metadata for stock photographers: keep titles, captions, and keywords organized
Clean IPTC metadata helps stock contributors prepare consistent image batches. Lookflow connects titles, captions, keywords, categories, and upload preparation.
Metadata gets scattered quickly
Titles, descriptions, categories, and keywords often live in different tools or platform forms, which increases errors across large batches.
Lookflow makes metadata part of the workflow
Metadata is prepared alongside keywording, duplicate checks, and publishing steps instead of being treated as a disconnected task.
