Rastock AI is a metadata and distribution tool for stock photography and video contributors. It combines AI metadata generation, per-agency policy enforcement, bulk FTP delivery to 10 or more agencies, and per-destination status tracking in one workflow.
The commercial model is deliberately plain: a flat subscription, no revenue share, no ownership claim over uploaded work, and free export of metadata as IPTC, XMP or CSV.
Rastock AI was founded by stock contributors for stock contributors. We know the pain of spending hours in spreadsheets instead of behind the camera.
Founded in Silicon Valley
Built for the Reality of Modern Stock Creation
By 2025, the stock content industry had reached a critical scale challenge. Marketplaces were receiving unprecedented volumes of images and videos, yet the tools used to describe, structure, and prepare that content remained largely manual, fragmented, and outdated.
workflows had not evolved at the same pace as content creation.
Rastock AI was founded to solve this exact problem.
We saw a growing disconnect between how stock content is produced today and how it is prepared for distribution. Creators were spending more time managing
than creating content, while agencies struggled to scale operations efficiently.
Instead of building another generic tagging tool, we focused on understanding commercial stock context — how images and videos are actually evaluated, categorized, and surfaced across major marketplaces.
Rastock AI is built around a purpose-designed AI engine developed to support high-volume stock workflows. Our system analyzes visual content with a focus on:
This allows creators and teams to generate structured, usable metadata that aligns with real submission standards — not just surface-level object detection.
Today, Rastock AI supports photographers, videographers, creative teams, and agencies who work at scale and need reliable automation to keep up with growing demand. Our platform is designed to help users:
Rastock AI is built for creators who treat stock production as a serious business — not a side task.
should never slow creativity down. Our mission is to remove operational friction from stock workflows and help creators focus on what they do best: producing valuable, market-ready content.
Rastock AI continues to evolve alongside the industry, guided by real-world contributor needs and practical automation — not hype.
