I'm an iStock Exclusive contributor since 2007 and I used all existed systems for uploads. I switched to qHero years ago and I believe that it is the most efficient system I ever used.

It saves me hours of keywording time because of the flexibility, intellectual content-based keywords suggestions, semi-automatic disambiguation, and effective releases management. Unique scheduling helps to plan my submissions for months ahead, and batch-oriented stats helps to track the return of investments. Cloud-based service allows uploading imagery from any of my computers then to do attribution from anywhere, which is particularly useful in travel.

Uploading photos is easy and very quick, nothing is too much or too little. Support is also quickly available. qHero is faster to process and handle compared to DeepMeta, which is more confusing and cumbersome when editing images.

It is more convenient for me to use qHero than DeepMeta, and even more so Getty ESP. In qHero it is much more convenient and significantly faster to choose the meanings of terms and synonyms of keywords for large groups of similar files. Synonyms are added only to the files where they are needed. qHero allowed me to reduce the time required for attributing files in Getty by several times compared to DeepMeta.

I like qHero because it helps me get things done faster. The site reads metadata from the video file, and it is possible to easily combine them in the description. The history of already uploaded batches is clearly visible.

qHero has spoiled me for almost 4 years! I love the clean and well thought out UI. I've tried both free and paid solutions and haven't found anything like it to upload my work. qHero is the only solution made with care, which helps me upload my work to iStock and Getty in a fraction of the time. Thank you!

I totally love qHero. It's convenient in all possible ways but what I appreciate the most is keyword processing - you can easily do the disambiguation or remove the irrelevant meanings.

qHero is undoubtedly the best tool for uploading photos and videos to istockphoto.com. It has clear design, copying keywords is easy and the best thing is that you can keyword uploaded files from anywhere. So, it's convenient if someone else is doing this for you from another location. Keep up the good work guys!

qHero is the best thing that happened to us by making it possible to extend our production.

qHero allows us to outsource the Keywording service and gives us the opportunity to collaborate remotely with many contractors.

One of the best features qHero offers is the simple way to copy/paste the image attributes to any submission, either active or closed.

All the releases stay in one place and you have to submit it to qHero only once, making it really simple to re-use the same release in different submissions with the same model and shoot date.

qHero UI is way superior than istock uploader (ESP) in all aspects. Keywords suggestions, copy/paste tool, super easy to use releases section are things which already saved a lot of time for me.
