For Capture One photographers

AI keywords for
Capture One.

Capture One is a brilliant editor — but it has no built-in AI to keyword your photos. MetaMagic fills the gap: it generates IPTC keywords, titles and captions and writes them into your files, so they appear right inside Capture One's Metadata tool. No plugin required.

The gap

Great editing.
No keywording.

Capture One gives you a proper IPTC Metadata tool — fields for keywords, title, caption, location and copyright. What it doesn't give you is a way to fill them automatically. So keywording stays a manual chore, and most photographers skip it. That's a problem if you sell stock, build a searchable archive, or deliver tagged files to clients.

How it fits your workflow

Tag with AI,
edit in Capture One.

MetaMagic works alongside Capture One, not against it. Because it writes standard IPTC metadata into the files themselves, everything it generates is readable by Capture One automatically — no plugin, no import dance.

Why it works

Standard IPTC.
No lock-in.

MetaMagic doesn't depend on any one program. It writes the same IPTC/XMP metadata that Capture One, Lightroom, Photo Mechanic and Bridge all read. Tag once, and your keywords travel with the photo everywhere it goes.

FAQ

Capture One
questions.

Does Capture One have AI keywording built in? +
No. Capture One has a Metadata tool for IPTC fields, but no AI that generates keywords for you. MetaMagic fills that gap — it writes AI-generated IPTC keywords, titles and captions that then appear in Capture One's Metadata tool.
How do the keywords get into Capture One? +
MetaMagic writes standard IPTC/XMP metadata directly into the image file. When you browse or import that file in Capture One, the keywords, title and caption show up automatically.
Should I tag before or after editing? +
Either works. Many photographers tag a folder with MetaMagic first, then edit in Capture One with metadata already in place. You can also tag exported JPGs or TIFFs afterward.
Do I need a Capture One plugin? +
No. Because MetaMagic writes standard IPTC into the files, no plugin is required — Capture One reads the metadata natively.
