Search by Image

Summary

Before you purchase or upload a new image to your DAM, you can search your Asset Bank to see if a similar or exact one already exists via the Search by Image functionality. In the search bar, you can upload an image stored on your computer or add an external image URL to search for a similar asset in your DAM.

Who?

Search by Image is an additional add-on feature and is not included as part of the core Bynder DAM offering. If you are interested in adding this feature, please reach out to your Customer Success Contact.

If your organization has already acquired this add-on, it requires your Customer Success Contact to enable it for your portal. Once activated, individual feature permissions can be managed by your Bynder Admin.

Once enabled, all users can utilize this functionality; however, any existing permission restrictions set on specific assets will still be honored.
