Frequently Asked Questions
How does CyberStock differ from other keywording tools?
CyberStock trains on 50M+ real buyer purchase queries. Other tools use image recognition — they describe your photo, not what buyers search. The difference shows in impressions and sales within 30-60 days.
How fast does CyberStock process files?
~1.33 seconds per file. PhotoTag.ai processes at ~8s/file. For a 1,000-file batch that is 22 minutes vs 2+ hours.
Does CyberStock support video files?
Yes — photos (RAW, JPG, PNG), 4K video, and vectors in the same batch at the same per-file rate.
Do credits expire?
Never. Credits are permanently attached to your account. Buy once, use at any pace.
