Metadata & IPTC

SnapFlow writes proper IPTC metadata into every photo you deliver — caption, keywords, copyright, credit, location — so your files arrive labelled and searchable in Lightroom, Capture One, Bridge or digiKam. All of this is editable on the web. Web

Open an album and go to the Metadata editor.

Each row is a photo; the columns are its caption, AI description, keywords, rating, detected people and identifiers, camera/EXIF and phase. Everything you set here is embedded into the downloaded JPEG.

Album defaults that cascade

On the album Edit page you set defaults that flow into every photo automatically (unless you override a specific photo):

• Credit and Copyright
• Event location — city, state, country (+ code) and venue/sub-location

These are written to each delivered file's IPTC, so you set them once per event.

Per-photo IPTC

Click a photo (or edit inline in the table) to set fields on a single image:

• Caption / headline and description
• Keywords
• Creator, copyright, credit, source
• Job identifier, rights/usage terms, special instructions

Anything left blank falls back to the album default.

AI captions & keywords

With AI metadata enabled on the Edit page, SnapFlow uses Claude Vision to auto-write a caption and keywords for every photo as it's ingested. You can review and tweak them before delivery — they're suggestions, not locked in.

Where it ends up

Everything here is baked into the IPTC sidecar of the downloaded photo, so your clients and your own catalogue see consistent credit, copyright and keywords — no manual tagging after the fact.
