From raw files to Shutterstock
in four steps

What happens on upload

Each photo gets resized to a 400 px thumbnail for the grid and a 1080 px working copy for the AI. Your originals stay on your drive — Picseta never stores full-resolution files.

Hint field

There's an optional hint field above the generate button. A short note like "wildlife, Kenya safari" or "commercial food shoot on white" pushes the AI toward more accurate output. One hint applies to however many photos you're generating at once.

What you get back

Title, sentence-length description, up to 50 keywords (mandatory feeling and color tags included), Shutterstock primary and secondary categories, submission type (Commercial or Editorial), and image type (Photo or Illustration). The AI reads the image — not just the filename.

Editorial photos

If the submission type comes back as Editorial, two extra fields appear: Location and Date. These get prepended to your description in the format Shutterstock requires — "New York - March 20, 2026 - your description here." The extension fills this whole string automatically.

Batch generation

You can generate across your entire current page (up to 20 photos) with one click. A counter tracks progress. Photos that hit quota or fail stay flagged so you can retry them.

Copying

Each field has its own copy button. Keywords copy as comma-separated. "Copy all" formats everything as a single block — title on line one, description, then keywords — ready to paste into any stock platform's form.

Categories and toggles

Category 1 and 2 are dropdowns with all Shutterstock categories. Image type and submission type are toggles. Changes save on blur, no submit button needed.

How it detects your photo

When you select an asset on submit.shutterstock.com, the extension reads the filename from the page and queries your Picseta library. If it finds a match with metadata, a Fill button appears.

What Fill does

One click fills title, description, both category dropdowns, all keywords, and the Commercial/Editorial toggle — directly into Shutterstock's form. No tab switching, no copy-paste, no reformatting. For Editorial photos it handles the location-date prefix too.

If the photo isn't in Picseta yet

The extension shows a "Photo not found" state with an Upload button that opens your Picseta dashboard directly. If the photo is uploaded but metadata hasn't been generated yet, it shows a "Pending" state with a Generate shortcut.

Extension popup

The popup shows your plan, quota (X / 500), and reset date. You can open your dashboard from there without leaving Shutterstock.
