# Metadata from XML file?

 * I am using NextGEN Gallery. And want to have 10.000 ++ images in a searcable 
   gallery.
    I have som documents (.docx) that writes the metadata to the images.(
   Photographer – Image description)
 * Is there a way to import this metadata with those documents. Or an easyer way
   to bulk-add this metadata to all of these images so it can be searchable of title
   and description??

 * [@roganett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roganett/) – We do not have a
   feature set or method to do this type of bulk upload/merge.
 * Thanks for asking!

 * [@roganett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roganett/) – If the images contain
   meta data then NextGEN Gallery will be able to use it from the original uploads
   although how you combine your images with your XML file external to WordPress
   and your site is a bit outside the scope of support for this plugin.
