Drop in a metadata CSV: another agency's export, a CSV from PixelKeyAI, or your own spreadsheet. The converter finds the columns, lets you correct them, and writes one CSV per agency in the layout that agency expects. The file never leaves your browser, and you do not need an account.

An export from any agency, a CSV from PixelKeyAI, or a spreadsheet saved as CSV. Commas, semicolons and tabs all work. Up to 50,000 rows and 25 MB.
Each line below is matched to a column in your sheet by its heading. Change any that look wrong. Filename is the only required one.
| Field | Column in your sheet | Example |
|---|
Use an export from any agency, a CSV from PixelKeyAI, an ExifTool CSV, or a spreadsheet saved as CSV. The first row has to be the headings.
The page matches columns by their headings. If one is wrong or missing, pick the right column from the list. Filename is required, and you need a title, a description or keywords to make a useful file.
Tick one agency or all five. Rows that have to change, such as a long title or too many keywords, are listed before you download. Take one CSV per agency, or all of them in a ZIP.
It writes the same files PixelKeyAI's own agency exports write, so a converted sheet and an export from the app can be uploaded the same way. Here is what it does to your rows:
These are the files the converter writes. The table is drawn from the same settings the converter uses.
| Agency | Columns, in order | Keywords | Title cut at | Characters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adobe Stock | Filename, Title, Keywords, Category, Releases | up to 49 | 200 characters | UTF-8 |
| Shutterstock | Filename, Description, Keywords, Categories, Editorial, Mature content, illustration | up to 50 | No title column | ASCII only |
| iStock | file name, created date, title, description, country, brief code, keywords, releases | 5 to 50 | 255 characters | ASCII only |
| Pond5 | Filename, Title, Description, Keywords, Category, ClipType | up to 50 | 80 characters | ASCII only |
| Depositphotos | Filename, Title, Description, Keywords | up to 50 | 200 characters | ASCII only |
