You can extract embedded metadata from your assets and map it to your existing metaproperties. This way, you can automate the enrichment of your assets with existing metadata. You can use any EXIF, XMP, or IPTC tag. However, the only fully custom metadata tags Bynder supports are those based on the XMP metadata standard.
Before you Begin
Follow the steps to Create a new meta property. To set up the mapping below, select the single-select metaproperty type.
How to Create Custom Metadata Fields
- Navigate to Settings > Advanced Settings > Portal settings.
- Click Embedded metadata configuration in the left sidebar and ensure you’re in the On asset upload tab.
- Default metadata fields: Click View default fields to review the default metadata continuously extracted and embedded in your assets once uploaded to Bynder, regardless of settings.

FAQ
When I make changes in Embedded Metadata Configuration, can I apply these changes to existing assets?
No, if you change the Embedded Metadata settings, your changes will only apply to uploaded assets after you make them. If you want your changes to apply to all pre-existing assets, please contact Customer Support.
