Download and Export Assets With Metadata

Bynder can write (or embed) the metaproperty information from Bynder to metadata fields upon download. This is helpful if you want to keep this metadata available or if other systems depend on it.

Upon download, the available metadata and any metadata updates made within Bynder can be written back to the same metadata tags or mapped to other standard XMP metadata tags that match your other systems' usage. This ensures the metadata stays with the asset even after it leaves Bynder. In addition, you can also export the available metadata to a CSV file.

How to Download Assets with Metadata

1. Navigate to the asset you want to download.
2. Check the box next to Include XMP metadata in the Asset Details view. 
   

   Note

   The box will be checked by default if you want to make this required.

3. Click one or more of the available files to start the download. Alternatively, you can click Download all files to download all the files at once.

How to Export Metadata

You can export metaproperties and their values to specific metadata tags. We support exporting to XMP, IPTC, and EXIF.

If you don't want this metadata to be written to the default metadata tags, we can set it up so it is written to a specific tag.

For example, instead of writing the Bynder Title to the default XMP:Title tag, it can be written to XMP-photoshop:Headline. 

1. Navigate to Settings > Advanced Settings > Portal settings.
2. Click Embedded metadata configuration in the left sidebar and then the On asset download tab.
3. CSV download: Enable this setting to allow users with the appropriate permission to download a CSV of the metadata for selected assets.
4. XMP download: Enable this setting to embed the XMP metadata in the downloaded assets. If enabled, you can select which XMP metadata should be embedded.
5. Required download: Enable the XMP metadata always to be embedded in the downloaded assets.
6. Update the existing XMP metadata: Enable the mapping of the Bynder metadata to metadata fields upon download.
   
   • Default Bynder metadata: If you don’t want the default metadata to be written to the default metadata tags, add the metadata tag to which you want the metadata written, separated by a comma.
   • Metaproperties: You can map Bynder metaproperties and their values to specific metadata tags. We support exporting to XMP, IPTC, and EXIF.
     
     • In the Metaproperties column, click the dropdown to select a Bynder metaproperty.
     • In the Metadata tags column, paste the exact name of the metadata tag to which you’d like to write the metaproperty.
     • Click Add metaproperty to add a mapping.
7. Click Save Changes.
