In order to save time and resources, designers can import Sketch files directly to the DAM and files are automatically converted to a Studio design format. These source files can then be accessed and edited within Studio. Elements can be locked and the design can be saved as a template, for even more time saving.
-
The Sketch importer will support non, single, and multi-artboard files. Multi-artboard files will be imported as separate designs.
-
The Sketch files need to be uploaded to DAM or to the Uploads section of Studio.
-
Use the RGB color profile. CMYK files are not supported.
Note
Bynder supports a max resolution of 4K and a file size of 2 GB.
