The Similarity Search allows you to easily find similar images within the Asset Bank, without needing to rely on metadata. This can be helpful if you’re looking for images of a particular product or images that may have a similar look and feel to group together in a collection.  

This feature/solution requires your Customer Success Contact to enable, but then individual permissions can be done by the Bynder Admin.

Note: Any permission restrictions set on an image asset will be honored and will affect if an image asset is retrievable using this feature.

How to Search for Similar Image Assets

  • Images do not need to be tagged with metadata in order to display in the similarity search results.
  • Images will not be marked as similar if you are in the Collection view.
    1. Navigate to the Asset Bank
      • You can view similiar assets during upload process. Images without duplicates will display Show Similar on the thumbnail.
    2. Hover over an image and click Show similar. Results are based on the single asset selected.Screenshot 2024-04-08 at 1.15.25 PM.png
