File names retained in the title

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a way that the file name of the file I upload would populate as the title of the image on Adobe stock? This way I wouldn't have to rename the title to the file on each file.
Example I'll upload file ABC1 and in the title on Adobe stock it will just say Untitled design - 1 instead of ABC1. Would be cool if the title just populated the actual file name of ABC 1.
Thanks

I suppose if you use a csv file to upload your content, you could use the file name as the title. I retain the file names assigned by my camera, so that I can find that image in my LRC catalog, so I definitely would not plan to use that as a title. Regardless of your approach, I think you'll still need to edit the title before submission to be sure that it complies with Adobe's guidelines and to make it as descriptive as possible since the title text is searchable by Buyers.

There is no such possibility. Adobe, however, reads the image title from the EXIF data.

But yes, @Jill_C's suggestion might work, while still assigning a different file name to the image while the original title fills in the title field automatically.

I'm not familiar with the underpinnings of uploading images on any social media, but I suspect original titles are eliminated to avoid the very real possibility of writing over images with the exact title. It's probably why facebook assigns file names using a series of a gazillian random numbers, to avoid that issue.
