PhotoTager Credits System Explained

How Credits Work

PhotoTager uses a credit-based system to provide flexible, pay-as-you-go access to our metadata generation services. Here's everything you need to know about how credits work in our platform.

• Videos: 2-3 credits per video (depending on length)

What You Get for Each Credit

When you use credits to generate metadata, you receive:

• A professionally crafted title
• An alternative title optimized for Adobe Stock
• A detailed description (20-40 words)
• Up to 50 relevant keywords
• Platform-specific formatting for export
