Create a Public Collection

Once you've created a collection, you can make it public to share with external users, provided you have the necessary permissions and either own the collection or have been granted manage rights. Public collections allow anyone with the link to access the assets without needing a Bynder account. To make a collection public, simply generate and share an online link, enabling external users to view and download original assets along with any available derivatives.

If you would like public derivatives to be available by default, please contact your Customer Success Manager to learn more about enabling this feature.

Share or Publish Collections with Smart Filters

By default, (smart) filters and search bars are unavailable in a public collection. However, these items can be made available so that external users can easily search and filter assets. Metaproperties that are set to Hide the Public will still show as a filter in the public Collection.
