How it works
Three steps.
Zero friction.
Choose the workflow that fits your editor. No API keys and no subscription required.
01
Install or Open
Install the Capture One or Lightroom plugin, open MetaMagic Desktop on Windows, or use the web app.
02
Select Photos
Choose one photo or a batch. MetaMagic analyzes a preview while your original file remains in your workflow.
03
Get Metadata
Titles, captions, keywords, location and supported workflow metadata are written back where the selected integration can use them.
Integrated plugins
More than keywords.
Metadata that fits the editor.
Lightroom and Capture One keep their own strengths. MetaMagic uses the features each application exposes instead of forcing one workflow onto both.
Structured AI Metadata
Labels, landmarks, locations, logos, faces, OCR, safety and dominant colors can be stored separately from your normal IPTC fields.
Lightroom + Capture OneLightroom Collections
The Lightroom plugin can build MetaMagic AI Collections because Lightroom exposes catalog collection APIs.
Lightroom-specificCapture One Color Tags
The Capture One plugin can apply workflow Color Tags, optional star ratings and detailed IPTC Contact/Status fields through XMP.
Capture One-specificCore Features
Built for serious
photographers.
Generate useful metadata at scale while preserving the professional IPTC/XMP fields your archive and clients already understand.
Batch Processing
Process one photo or a whole shoot with consistent output and account-level settings.
Fast, repeatable workflowGPS & Location
Use embedded GPS to reverse-geocode city, state, country and ISO country code for supported workflows.
IPTC location contextEditorial & Stock
Generate metadata for archive, editorial and stock workflows, with configurable language and output lengths.
Professional metadataControl Centers
Lightroom and Capture One use separate Control Center settings, so editor-specific options do not overwrite each other.
Independent settingsSolutions
Built for every
photography workflow.
Capture One, Lightroom, standalone Windows workflows, archives and stock-agency delivery all use the same MetaMagic account.
Lightroom AI Keywords
Generate and review AI metadata directly inside Lightroom Classic, including Lightroom-specific AI Collections.

One metadata engine.
Not one locked workflow.
The value is the metadata, not the application you happen to use today. MetaMagic keeps AI generation on one backend while each client handles the fields and workflow features its editor actually supports.
Move from Lightroom to Capture One, use both, or work directly on files: your account and credits stay the same.
