What it does

Better metadata, still in your words.

AI drafts. You decide what is applied.

Suggestions you review

One photo at a time. Titles, captions, and keywords arrive as editable suggestions, and nothing is applied until you choose it.

Commercial or editorial

Captions and keywords follow the licence you intend. Editorial captions start with a dateline; commercial suggestions leave out brands and names.

Keywords that merge

Up to 50 relevant stock keywords are merged with your existing tags. Nothing you already have is removed.

Your own AI resource

Requests go to your own Microsoft Foundry resource with your key, and a reduced preview is sent, not your original file.

Where it fits

Describe before you publish.

With Publishing Workflow (coming soon), the license type you set there is preselected.

Pluggable by design. AI Photo Tagging works on its own, and so does every other Expolumi plug-in. Use one, some, or all.
