Freepik title and metadata requirements
Freepik is stricter than other agencies: titles max 100 characters, up to 40 keywords, image sides between 2000 and 10000 pixels. Fail any of these and the file is rejected. Here are the rules and how to prepare a batch automatically.
Freepik limits
- Title — strictly up to 100 characters. Every contributor knows the “You have reached the 100 character limit” error.
- Keywords — up to 40.
- Size — 2000 to 10000 px on any side (the “Minimum dimension not reached” error).
- Format — JPG.
How to fit a title into 100 characters without losing meaning
A Freepik title must be compact: main subject + key attribute + context. Long artistic titles that work on Adobe Stock (200 chars) won't pass here.
A bad approach is truncating the string at character 100 — a word gets cut in half. The right way is generating a short variant or trimming at a word boundary.
The Freepik profile in Stock Metadata Tagger
Pick the “Freepik” profile at upload and the downloaded ZIP will contain: titles up to 100 characters (trimmed at a word boundary, no torn words), up to 40 keywords, automatic upscaling to 2000+ px if the image is smaller.
The full metadata (200 chars, 47 tags) stays in the database — the same files can go to Adobe Stock over SFTP with nothing lost. Handy for the Freepik + Magnific combo too.
Why did Freepik reject my file for size when it's 1500 px?
The minimum is 2000 px on the short side. Enable the upscale option at upload: the service enlarges the image (lanczos3) to the required size without exceeding the 10000 px cap.
Can one batch serve both Freepik and Adobe Stock?
Yes. Process once, download the ZIP with the Freepik profile, and send the same images to Adobe Stock over SFTP — the full metadata variant goes there.
