Should I edit AI-generated metadata manually?

Most of the time, the generated metadata is accurate and ready to use as-is — especially for clear, straightforward stock images.

That said, it’s still a good idea to do a quick review before submitting. AI can occasionally miss small details, add less relevant keywords, or be too generic with niche or conceptual subjects.

In many cases, a fast check is enough. Some images may benefit from small edits, such as:

• removing a few irrelevant keywords
• reordering your strongest keywords first
• adding specific context only you know about the image.

For clear commercial content, you’ll often need little to no editing at all.
