AI metadata for Lightroom Classic
Tag a hundred RAWs before your coffee's cold.
One click writes 19 IPTC fields — title, headline, caption, alt text, and search-ready keywords — straight into your Lightroom catalog. No exporting, no catalog risk, develop edits untouched.
By default, a Lightroom Classic export leaves your photo metadata blank — Title, Caption, and Alt Text are empty, and Keywords holds only whatever you typed in by hand, if anything. Lightroom never generates that text itself; it's just a place to type it, and most photographers don't have time to add keywords and alt text to photos in Lightroom across a real shoot. The consequence is direct: your best work is invisible to anything reading the file afterward — Google Images, a screen reader, a stock platform's search — because none of them look at pixels, they read metadata. Here's exactly what one photo looks like after Luxii, the Lightroom Classic metadata plugin, writes into those same fields, in one click, before it ever leaves your catalog:
Morning yoga finds stillness beneath southern Utah's red rock walls — a woman in a white top and shorts holds a downward-facing dog pose on a mat outdoors, red rock cliffs and dry grass in the warm morning light.
Built by a working photographer
Luxii comes from a senior-portrait and wedding photographer who also writes software — not a faceless product team guessing at your workflow.

Metadata-only
Writes title, caption, alt text, and keywords — never touches pixels, crop, or Develop settings.
The honest version
Manual tagging vs. Luxii
Typing metadata by hand isn't wrong — it's slow, and it gets worse exactly when you can least afford it: at volume. Hand-tagging a 500-photo wedding gallery — title, caption, and keywords, typed one photo at a time — runs four to six hours, which is why most photographers skip most of it and just add a few keywords. Luxii tags the same gallery in one pass: select the folder, run Tag Selected Photos, walk away.

It's in your catalog
Metadata writes straight into your catalog the moment the click finishes — no review step in between. Every export and Flickr upload carries it, and your edits, crops, and ratings are never touched.
Straight answers
Questions, answered.
Is Luxii a subscription?+
No — $39 once, with 500 image credits included; credit packs top you up after that.
Full pricing breakdownDoes Luxii edit or retouch my photos?+
No. Luxii only ever writes metadata — it never touches Develop, crop, ratings, or flags.
See what Luxii writes (and doesn't touch)Do I need Lightroom Classic, or does this work with cloud Lightroom?+
Luxii is a Lightroom Classic plug-in — it doesn't run inside Lightroom's cloud-only version.
Requirements and setupWill this help my photos show up in Google Images or on stock sites?+
Yes — Google Images, Flickr, and stock platforms all read the metadata Luxii writes, not the pixels behind it. That's the whole game for photo SEO.
Why this gets you foundWhat if I only need this for a handful of photos — worth it?+
Probably not — hand-typing a dozen photos well beats running software to save fifteen minutes.
