Create a Public Collection

After creating a collection, you can make it public to share with external users. You can only make a collection public if you have the specific right to do so. Public collections can be shared with external users. If someone has the URL to a Public Collection, they do not need to log into a Bynder account. You can make a collection public by creating and sharing an online link. This way, external users can view and download the original assets and the 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.

Learn whether search engines can index Public Collections.

Share or Publish Collections with Smart Filters
