Microstock Photo Keyword Research

This tool is currently unavailable.

The Keyword Research Tool helped microstock contributors find better keywords for their images, vector files and videos by analyzing a database of more than 30 million stock assets.

What It Offered

• Search by keywords and phrases across 30+ million assets
• Filter by file type (image, vector, illustration, video) and minimum sales
• Analyze keyword frequency, views per file, and sales per file
• Discover which keywords perform best in terms of conversion rate
• Visualize results with tag clouds showing frequency vs. sales

Key Insights from Our Data

Our analysis of 30+ million images, vectors and videos clearly showed a correlation between keywords and sales: the more relevant keywords, the more sales.

However, choosing irrelevant keywords would only hurt your sales, since potential buyers would generate views but no purchases, causing agencies’ search engines to rank your pictures lower.

For example, our data showed that the keyword “pc” sold significantly less than “computer” or “laptop” — something worth keeping in mind when choosing your metadata.
