Hi there, I am new here, hopeflly I will do it the correct way. So I am an Adobe stock contributor, and just found the way how to use the csv files to add metadata , keywords and categories to the newly uploaded stock photos/illustrations. I have 2 question: is there some online tool which allows you to quickly generate bulk titles, filenames, keywords and releases? If the first answer is "no" , my second question: I am a developer and made some simple, but (still) private tool to do so. Drag and drop upto 5000 images, dropdown for the category, edit the release, title, keywords and save the csv.. So the question is, is it legal and allowed to publish tool like that to the public usage? It could be free, offline and respectful to the end users privacy, GDPR and the images will remain offline, it means they won't be uploaded to cloud services. If it's allowed, by sub-question: Is it legal to mention "Adobe Stock" in the tool's keyword/title/name ? thank you for the answers/suggestions in advance!

Do you have a question regarding the images you posted?

1) no

2) yes, as long as your tool does not make false claims… and you do not claim to be Adobe stock. So the tool should not be named “Adobe Stock something”, or you will need to have the authorization from Adobe.

To question number 1: As far as I know, there is no one tool that will do everything you are looking for.There are numerous tools which handle a portion, i.e. keywording.

To question number 2: The tool itself is not a problem. "Adobe Stock .csv editing tool" is surely a registered name and you are not allowed to use it. Different, I think, is to say "Adobe's stock database .csv edititing tool".

But, you are asking the wrong people for leagal matters.
