Start generating metadata

After successful verification, the connection notice disappears. When you upload an image and generate metadata, your request uses the Gemini API key you provided for that request.

✓ You're ready

Upload your file, generate metadata, and review the title, description and keywords before downloading your CSV.

⚠ Keep your API key private

Never share your Gemini API key in screenshots, public posts, source code, or with other people. This site does not store the visitor-provided key on our server.
