Manual derivatives

  • Updated

You can automatically create derivatives during upload and customize your files. If you make a customized version of an asset outside of Bynder, you can upload that file as a manual derivative. 

What are manual derivatives?

Derivatives are additional media items that can be automatically created during upload after they have been configured. Our derivative setup allows basic customizations, such as resizing or extending the canvas. In some cases, you may want to customize your files more advanced using your preferred software, such as converting your image to grayscale. The manual derivative feature allows you to make customizations outside of Bynder and then quickly upload them back to Bynder as a manual derivative.
