Treat your assets like structured content, not files Structured, queryable, and versioned media that live alongside your content and serves your whole organization. Structured, queryable, and versioned media that live alongside your content and serves your whole organization. Stop duplicating assets across projects One logo, 8 projects. Upload once, reference everywhere. No reuploading the same file over and over. Preserve the original file Every video and image maintains its unmodified source alongside the delivery-optimized versions. Find assets by meaning, not filename AI reads what's in your images. You add the business context, like license type and campaign. Update once, fix everywhere Upload a better version. See where it's used. Set it live everywhere. Revert anytime. Rights management lives with the asset License terms, expiration dates, and approved territories right on the asset. No Slack threads. AI extracts subjects, scenes, colors, and concepts automatically. AI analyzes images so you can search by what you see Upload an image of a woman riding a bike by a mountain, and Media Library understands what's in it, not just that it's called DSC_0847.jpg. AI extracts subjects, scenes, colors, and concepts automatically. Filter by what matters Find assets in active use, specific aspect ratios, approval status, referenced products, license, or by any other field. Bulk operations that feel native Select assets like you'd select files on your desktop. Shift-click a range, cmd-click specific ones, then bulk-update copyright info or move to a new collection. Stop paying for assets no one uses Identify what's actually referenced. Spot orphaned files. Delete with confidence, not guesswork.
