How many keywords should I use?
Use as many strong, relevant keywords as the platform allows — but do not pad with weak ones.
Platform limits:
- Adobe Stock: up to 49 keywords.
- Shutterstock: up to 50 keywords.
- Getty Images: 5–50 keywords, chosen from Getty’s own keyword vocabulary.
On Adobe Stock, the first keywords carry the most weight, so it pays to put your strongest terms at the top. On Shutterstock, order matters less than relevance — accurate, on-brief keywords beat filler.
Fylio orders keywords by relevance by default, so the strongest are at the top regardless of the platform.
