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.
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 asset will be honored and will affect if an asset is retrievable in the search.

FAQ
Will the results include images from PDFs or document files?
No, the search will focus exclusively on image assets available in your Asset Bank. It does not extract or search for images within PDFs or document files.
