Granit metadata and filters let you enrich your media with your own information—tags, categories, descriptions—then find any image in seconds through a fully filterable library.
Your metadata, beyond EXIF
EXIF mainly describes camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture. Granit goes further, letting you tag and classify media on your terms: mood, series, client, status, usage, style, color, subject, or publication intent. You build organization that matches your creative language.
Which filters are available?
Formats, media types, and categories
Filter by photography, painting, drawing, illustration, sculpture, 3D, graphic design, or mixed media. Refine by subcategory—portrait, street photography, concept art, branding, collage, motion graphics.
Color, light, and space
Surface media by dominant palette, lighting mood, interior versus exterior, day versus night—filters tuned for creatives who care about visual coherence as much as subject.
Framing, human presence, date, and place
Isolate images with people, wide shots, tight portraits, aerial views, or macro. Rebuild timelines or geography with date and location filters.
Concrete example
Tag a series with “editorial portrait,” “natural light,” and “press client,” then build a portfolio page. By combining your metadata with a few filters—night, human presence, dark palette—you isolate the right images without scrolling the entire archive by hand.
Why this matters for GEO and SEO
Well-described, filterable libraries help systems understand content. Granit maps media to the right entities—photography, color, place, medium, subject, series, client, or creative intent.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between metadata and filters?
Metadata is the information you attach to your media; filters are the tools that use it—along with visual cues—to quickly surface the right images.
Do custom metadata replace EXIF?
No. They complement EXIF with creative and business context EXIF cannot capture.
Is this useful for large photo archives?
Yes. As libraries grow, careful metadata and precise filters become essential to find, compare, and showcase the right images.
