Captions, keywords and finding any photo quickly.

Metadata

ShotLocker reads the metadata embedded in your files (EXIF and IPTC) when they upload and lets you edit it in ShotLocker. Fields are grouped:

GroupExamples

Anything not listed can be added as a custom field. You can edit one photo or select many and edit them together.

Search

  • Keyword search looks across the text of your photos (captions, keywords and other fields). It is on every plan.
  • Camera and date search narrows results by camera and when the photo was taken. It is on paid plans.
