Your photo archive is sitting on passive income.

Stock Tagger finds the stock-worthy images hiding in your photo library, scores them honestly, and generates submission-ready metadata. You focus on shooting. We handle the paperwork.

Weeks of manual keywording Hours with Stock Tagger

Pay once to get an image live. Make money year after year, passively.

The Product

Three products. One workflow.

Each tier shows you more value before you spend more. Start free. Pay only for what matters.

Pre-Triage

See what you have

A comprehensive archive audit at zero cost. Trip detection, burst and duplicate flagging, face detection for model release awareness, technical quality scoring, platform eligibility checks, and a full trip report with geographic intelligence. Your photos are never stored or used for training.

Free — up to 10,000 images
Triage

Score and classify

Every image scored on artistic merit and commercial viability, classified by subject, located geographically, and routed as commercial or editorial. Results appear as stars, color labels, and keywords in Lightroom. Even if you never submit to stock, triage gives you the sorted, scored, searchable archive you have always wanted.

Per image — pay for what you process
Full Conversion

Submit to platforms

Professional descriptions, buyer-discovery keywords, and platform categories generated for your exports. Upload the submission CSV alongside your images. Metadata is ready on first submission. Additional platform support coming soon.

Per image — your keepers only
Who It's For

Not just for photographers.

Anyone with great photos hiding in their library can turn them into passive income.

Working photographers

Buying efficiency

You shoot 20,000+ images a year and spend hours on metadata. Stock Tagger does it in seconds, more consistently than you could on your 400th description of the day.

Hobbyists and semi-pros

Buying access

Years of accumulated work sitting in Lightroom. You have thought about stock income but never had the time or knowledge to prepare submissions. Now you do.

Content creators and travelers

Buying discovery

You take thousands of photos but do not think of yourself as a photographer. Stock Tagger shows you which of your existing images have commercial value.

What You Get — Free

Pre-Triage alone is a product.

Before you spend anything, Stock Tagger audits your entire archive with 10 specialized analyses. Your photos are never stored or used for training.

Trip detection

Automatically identifies travel periods, groups images into trips and legs, maps your geographic spread.

Burst and duplicate flagging

Identifies burst sequences, ranks the sharpest frame, flags near-duplicates across your entire archive.

Face detection

Flags images containing faces so you know your model release requirements before you process anything.

Technical quality scoring

Flags blur, overexposure, underexposure, and noise. Identifies the images that are not worth processing.

Platform eligibility

Checks minimum resolution requirements for major stock platforms before you export.

Golden hour detection

Identifies images shot during golden hour and blue hour using solar position. Your highest-value travel shots, surfaced automatically.

Camera profiling

Per-camera performance stats: sharpness, ISO distribution, focal lengths. Know which bodies produce your best work.

Preview readiness

Checks whether your Lightroom catalog has the previews needed for accurate analysis before you pay for triage.
