- First and most important thing is, Xpiks exist! This industry needs this type of software and I can honestly say Xpiks best of it. Here is why; - Alternative softwares (I tried all of it), is really complicated. For beginners (I was a beginner at the beginning too) could be very difficult to understand what function will do. But Xpiks is very clean and it has a good interface. Also, I'm a UI and UX designer and I can say, they did most of the things correctly.  - You can work with almost every platform. When you are adding a new host, it fills automatically so you don't have to worry about FTP details. If your host is not on the list, you can add it by yourself. - Great organizing the folders and files. This is already is all about it. If you can't organize your files well, then you are in a nightmare. - I have already had my all tags (keywords) when I start to try Xpiks, but suggest the keyword feature is a perfect idea in the software. You don't have to do it on the platform's website at the same time. That's another lifesaver feature.  - Trim Keywords plugin, "WONDERFUL" feature! Because some of the platforms allow you to use 50 tags and another 15. Selecting and removing the irrelevant tags is not fun activity in the text document especially you have a huge watchlist waiting for you on Netflix.  - I didn't use the Keywording Order feature yet but I'll definitely do it in the future. It's a good opportunity. - Often updates show the team, working hard. 

First of all, if you are a multi-platform contributor, you know how it's nightmare to upload each file to each platform. Titling, metadata, tagging, description, etc and you are always using a notepad. I just loved using all information in one single interface, copying and pasting for each category. Absolutely day-saving.

- Video preview would be nice because sometimes you can upload many different videos with similar thumbnails but different content. - Any file name cannot fully display (under the preview image) if it's a long filename, which is this is very often. - Color tagging idea is really really good but it needs a little bit more improvement like adding more tags. When you working with a high number of files but with different variants on multiple platforms, it's not a life saver at the moment but still really helps. The rest of it, I can't really say there is much more at "least".

Despite to some underwater stones I continue to buy each year new license :-) I need this product and my hope that it will be better and better - our subscription payment has partly be used for the further development!

That new features coming quite often, usability of locally installed SW - much easier than with web/cloud based interfaces. I still have files on my PC, did not share to some service which I cannot be 100% sure in

It was unstable at least on my PC - few times per year it crashed and then all my data was gone. Xpiks did not recognize once edited file as usually do. It hanged during the startup and was unresponsive. New installation did not help immediately, usually after 2-3 days it magically start working.. Another bad thing was that access to support for paying customer was inbuilt into the application and it hanged I lost my access to support. No contacts on the site where I could get some help quite fast. Site should have area for logged in users to submit trouble report and get help.. Good news that last versions are very stable and I am happy that everything works as it should.

Working with this software saves me time but there is a lot of room for improvement. With the problems it still has it is a bit expensive!!!

What I liked most about the software is the metadata management and the dictionary. Also, in general, except with 123RF, it is easy to connect and send files, which saves time.

The software crashes when I want to exit the program and cannot be closed. It does not upload the metadata of the videos. The technical service was not really interested when I mentioned these problems.

Absolutely fantastic. I love this software. Xpics makes life so much easier as a photographer. One click and it loads ally photos to as many sites as I want. Saves me hours and hours. Thank you!

AbsoluteLy phenomenal. For a creative, time is literally money and this saves me so much time and helps me make more money. XPics is quality product and I love that they constantly update it and keep improving it.

I feel like the recommended tags could be improved. I dont feel like that option gives you the best tags for the photo. I am not an expert, just my humble opinion.

Xpiks is an essential tool in my workflow.

The metadata feature of Xpiks is better than any other software of its class. It is easy to use. Xpiks is essential for anyone creating stock photography or needing to categorize their imagery.

The only con I have found using Xpiks is that you can duplicate your metadata keywords and therefore have to watch for this and delete them as you go. It is a small inconvenience and Xpiks does warn you of the duplication most of the time.

I had been using StockSubmitter, but it stopped supporting MacOS, so I made a switch to Xpiks which was free at the time, but also better looking and more pleasant to use. It's a great piece of software that streamlines my workflow, it has all the features I need for my stock illustration file management needs.

-Easy and intuitive to use -Has all the features that I need -One-time purchase -Good & fast support -UI looks good

I can't think of any cons at the moment. At some point there was an annoying bug that crashed the app, but the developer was quick to fix it.

Amazing!! I like and recommend this software

Easy to use, simple and fast! The best microstock software

Can’t fill the copy when selected files, can’t fill various files same time

It makes everyday life of a microstocker a way easier, everything necessary can be done in one place, no need for bunch of software

No cons are there. I don't even have time to think about the new feature as the new useful features are constantly added, it exceeds my expectation

Very easy to use, user friendly interface. It only takes a couple of clicks to start the automatic downloading while you can come back to your favourite routine.

Impossible to manage your own photostocks list in order you prefer 'cause it always goes according to the registration dates

Perfect tool for my working routine.

Bulk upload, ease to use, categorisation, word search, all in one product

Expensive, new features in Pro+ licence, more and more comercialisation

Xpiks is stable, easy to use and the staff keeps it updated and adds new features. Is the best way to save time with photo and video keywording.

The ease of use and the various functionalities about keywording and sending pics to microstock agencies is the best feature of Xpiks, I didn't tried yet the plugins to add more options but they seem very useful to run faster the workflow. Great software.

The dream would be a plugin to add the Istock keywording system, but as far as I know it depends on Istock/Getty API.

Xpiks has made my life much easier as a photographer and has saved me loads of time

Easy to use, makes uploading multiple files to different stock sites a breeze

I would like to be able to apply metadata to multiple files at the same time (without having to paste in info onto each photo)

Managing images metadata at one place and being able to upload to multiple stock websites at once.

The best features of this software are keywords and stock websites management tools, with the keyword tools you can easily find related keywords and get inspiration on your keywords for the footage. What makes this tool great is stock website management tool, you can add your photos to multiple stock websites at once, and this is the best time saving feature out there.

There is still place for the improvement of the software, I purchased pro license and down the road they added pro + option with special plugins and features. I don't like the idea being able to purchase product and than later you need higher tier subscription for another set of + features.

I have been using XPiks for over two years as part of my video and photo stock metadata purposes. I've bought a copy for a few of my employees and everybody has learned to use it very easily. XPiks helped streamline my microstock creation and we as a team became much more efficient.

XPiks is fast and efficient, simple and easy to use. Gets the job done with no distraction

There is nothing I do not like about this software. I am greatly satisfied

Muy buena

Me da ideas, a veces cueta relacionar adjetivos para temas fotograficios

busqueda de tema relacionados con las fotografias y lo que trato de expresar

Overall it is well worth the price, and it is by far the best app I have found that allows you to upload to multiple stock agencies that I have found.

This software is a lifesaver for me. It allows me to upload my stock photos and videos to multiple stock agencies all at once. They also have continued to add and update the software.

There are some quirks I have noticed. Like the thumbnails for mp4's tend to not show up correctly in the app. This does not affect the actual videos so it's not a big deal. Also I wish there was a way to order the keywords by importance so I don.t have to rearrange them in Adobe Stock. Wish Getty Images supported this app as well.

Amazing and powerful software for contributors where we can upload content to multiple sites in oneshot

Upload content to multiple sites with one click and find the tags easily.

Every thing is perfect and very useful every designer will love it.

Ease of uploading photos to multiple websites

Something with shutterstock broke where uploads stoped working

Useing for Years, never any problems! Powerful!

Easy to use! Loading times! File Support!

Update process! Where is my Serial? - Copying all Data from one to another file?

this software is crucial to my business, I can import metadata from a spreadsheet and finish to keyword/title/description an entire shoot quickly and without jpeg recompression

don’t like the features exclusive to subscription. text boxes may resize to fit better long descriptions

Nothing special to mention, all is just OK

To be honest I hate dark theme. It is very hard and harmful try to recognise white letters on black background, seriously.

Muy Satisfecho

Lo utilizo para poner nombre y etiquetas a mis fotografías. Es muy practico y facil de manejar, te busca las palabras claves para la etiquetas, estoy contento de su utilización. Me ayuda ahorra tiempo, para etiquetar todas mis fotografías y videos

De momento no hay nada que no me guste

Useful

FTP utility offering ability to upload to multiple clients

I find trying to utilise more features difficult to advance. may be me though, lack of time and skill.

it's easy to use and has an correct FTP.

The pro features don't work, for example: Auto keywording, Model Release, etc.

Easy to use with nice and clean UI. The app helps reduce time to manage files metadata

Some feature is hidden in menu where I think it should be place elsewhere easier access. Also if it can display and preview video in its ration would be nice
