Descify

AI-powered batch metadata generator for images

Overview

Descify is a cross-platform desktop application that generates titles, keywords, and descriptions for images in batch using AI models. Built with Tauri, React, and TypeScript, it streamlines metadata workflows for stock photographers, e-commerce catalogs, and content managers.

Features

AI Integration

• Gemini (free tier available) and OpenRouter (paid) support -Supports local AI models via LM Studio (optional).
• Configurable AI prompt templates with variables (${titleLimit}, ${descriptionLimit}, ${keywordLimit}, ${fileName}, ${currentDate})
• Built-in preset templates for Stock Photo, Product Catalog, and Social Media
• Create and save custom templates with custom instructions
• Avoid Words list to exclude specific terms from generated metadata

Processing

• Batch processing for multiple images at once
• Sequential mode — process one by one to avoid rate limiting on free/trial API keys
• Parallel mode — process up to 5 images simultaneously with paid API keys
• Configurable request delay (0–10s) between AI requests
• ExifTool integration for embedding metadata directly into image files

Management
