I keep uploading my images manually and I would like to use a submitter in the near future, so what submitter do you use and recommend and why?

Thank you!!!

Stocksubmitter does a good job...

Free foor 33 pictures submitted/ Month/ agency.

Isn't 33 pictures per month per agency too low? I submitted 10 manually just today!

If is not too personal, how many photos do you have submitted and how much income results from that monthly?

I'm a beginner, and I'm thirsty for infos like this

And yes... I'm also curious on what kind of pictures do you submit: vectors, people, textures, products, landscapes ....etc

stock submitter for me. It doesn't work equally well for all sites but for fotolia, canstock, 123rf and depositphotos I couldn't do without it.

8000 + images on shutterstock for exemple and 300-400$/month for this agency.
It cost 20$ for 400 images/month/agency

Can stock submitter arrange keywords in order of importance, which is requested by Fotolia?

Try Stockuploader, its free

I helped with beta testing on the Mac version of Stockuploader and I can now recommend the current version which is reliable and runs very smoothly ...

well... you need to choose yourself which ones are most important. Just put those first.

Stockuploader doesn't submit the images does it?? that is what makes stocksubmitter worth it's $$

@leaf .... I think that's just a typo, but Stockuploader DOES submit images. However, it does not deal with, or in anyway effect your keywording. So the moral is .... Sort your keywording out in some place else then give Stockuploader a go.

does it deal with releases and categories as well? from their demo video it just looks like it uploads the files and doesn't submit them.. and certainly no release or category management.

Perhaps we need a definition of terms.
Upload -> what an FTP program does.. gets the image file from my computer to the stock site
Submit -> adds a release to the image (if needed), picks categories, ticks the check boxes for price, non-exclusive, agreement to terms etc and presses the submit button

Apologies, you are completely right of course. I hadn't realised that the complete submission could be handled like that - interesting thanks.

I can definitely recommend Stocksubmitter - besides the upload and submit mentioned it also assists you in keywording based on similar images. I use it for 3 years now with a lot of agencies and it is just great. There are various monthly fees based on how many uploads/agency you need. Good thing is you can change that every month so if I have a month with higher needs/output I simply use Paypal to upgrade for the next 30 days.

Only tradeoffs is that it's only available for PC...

Have you tried GO Stock? newbielink:http://www.mymicrostock.net/descargas/go-stock-english/ [nonactive]
It's very easy and FREE...

marcflo · « **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2013, 06:00 »

Thank you all for the replies!

So as a general conclusion is easy to use a submitter than make it all manually? Is is better also?

I used to use Lightburner, but the new pricing is too complex (and too much) for me, so I moved to one upload using Filezilla and going site by site uploading files. Works OK for me, as I have a very fast internet and I get two files uploaded in parallel at about 2Mbit/s each. Then I read these posts and decided to try StockUploader. Installed fine, I put my 18 sites into the config pages and tested - all good. However, when I use it, it uploads one image at a time, and only gets 100 - 200Kbit/s upload speed. A file that takes 4-6 seconds on Filezilla takes 1-2 minutes on Stockuploader.

Anyone know why that should be? I left a post on their forum, but no responses so far. Is there a speed restriction setting in Stockuploader?
