Feature Overview

Get a clear overview of assets in your portal and find files quickly using filters to narrow down your search. By combining different search criteria, you can find what you’re looking for in an instant.

Bynder’s powerful search function allows you to find files by searching through asset metadata, tags, collections and even within a PDF file to ensure you’re able to find the files you’re looking for, no matter where it sits in the DAM.

Bynder supports previews for most file types, so you can read through PDFs, watch videos, or look at high-res Adobe files without having to download them onto your computer.

Upload and display the latest version so that your audience always has the most recent file, but stay in control of the different versions that have been uploaded in the Asset Detail Overview.

Relevant metadata is presented next to the preview alongside product information, related files, content statistics, and versions. Bynder automatically creates previews of most media files, including video, audio, artworks, Microsoft Word documents, and PDF.

Collections are a useful way to group your media files for simple sharing, regardless of the file type, size, or category. Collections allow you to quickly access, edit and share a specific group of files at any time.


Embedding media directly saves you a great deal of time when it comes to publishing content. Bynder will automatically provide you with a file embed code that you can simply copy and paste into your CMS. 


Getting the right content to the right person at the right time is crucial these days. By setting up user groups, you’re able to make content available only to people with the correct access rights. Additionally, permission profiles ensure that only certain users can take specific actions, while others cannot.

Sharing files the traditional way (via email, hard copies, etc.) all too often lead to information leaks. With Bynder, users can revoke access or set expiration dates on collections even after they have been sent out.

For that extra security of your files and to prevent unauthorized distribution, Bynder allows you to add watermarks to content.

Bynder Express is a simple yet secure sharing method that circumvents any data losses during person-to-person file-sharing practices. It imposes no file size limits and is a user-friendly feature that works with, not around, your security measures.

Group your projects into campaigns for that extra control, so only the colleagues and/or third parties that are actually involved have access, helping to make sure everyone knows who’s responsible for what.

Your dashboard will provide you with a clear overview of all ongoing projects. Here you can determine which tasks are pending and what you need to do.

Each of your workflow jobs is a perfect reproduction of your team’s creative process. To save time, predefine your creative and collaborative processes with the help of approval flow templates or ‘presets’. This will enable users to start new approval flows with just one click.

With the help of “tasks”, you can assign and monitor task progress to help your projects progress more smoothly. Automated email notifications will also keep your co-workers informed about the project status.

Review designs and documents online and collaborate by leaving annotations directly on the file. You can send feedback or push content along different stages until it’s finally approved, and ready to be uploaded to the portal.

Reviewing and reworking is an integral aspect of artwork creation. In order to ensure that you and your team are not confused by multiple drafts floating around, Bynder offers a clear overview of versions handled, and if a new version is uploaded, you can easily compare them side by side.

With the “Book Time” function, you can easily monitor the amount of time spent per project per person ensuring that contractors are paid correctly for the time they spend working on a project.

All communication between all your project’s stakeholders can be fully centralized and organized in Bynder, so everyone’s on the same page.

Video Brand Studio allows anyone to efficiently create sets of related videos to meet the needs of each market, channel, audience, format, and testing strategy—without needing design or video editing skills.

Your InDesign files can be converted into editable templates that your colleagues can adapt without needing the skills of designers or agencies. You can also completely pre-define the behavior of your template, making it possible for your colleagues to adjust certain elements (such as the logo, background, theme/style), but not others.

With Bynder’s WYSIWYG in-line editor, you can make changes directly in the file, and images can be chosen from a predefined selection or retrieved from your portal. A built-in DPI check will also make sure that documents produced are always print-quality. Thanks to instant feedback and no loading times, you can see your changes and corrections in real-time.

Translating documents inevitably lengthens your time-to-market. With Bynder’s brand templates, you can produce translated documents much faster, and without the effort. Simply choose the language you need from the dropdown menu, and the language-specific fixed elements for your template will adjust accordingly.

The documents you create are generated instantly via our InDesign server as either a web-version or print-ready PDF, and country-specific cropping marks will be attached automatically.

Reviewing at every stage of the content lifecycle is an inevitable necessity, and most errors come about through miscommunication and a lack of collaboration. That’s why we’ve made it easy: once a content piece has been created, it’ll automatically be sent to the next responsible person who will review and approve the files and, if need be, send them back to be reworked. Clear and efficient.

Think of the Brand Guidelines as your team’s brand knowledge base, helping you to communicate brand identity both internally and externally. This central brand manual will make it easy for everyone to see what specific branding elements (logos, colors, banners, etc.) should be used, so your brand story is always told the right way.

Our editor is easy for everyone to use. Simply drag and drop text elements such as headlines, images, body text, or video and go deeper into guideline components by creating chapters and subchapters. Features such as auto-save and preview help make the editing process easy.

Embed all brand elements from your portal directly into your brand guidelines and make them available for download. When you upload a new version in the DAM, it’ll automatically update in your guidelines.

You can also control access to your brand guidelines. You can choose to give access to all users, specific users only or editors only.

The dashboards give you a quick and easy overview of the portal's traffic and usage. Your portal comes with 3 default dashboards.

Gather insights about the main metrics regarding your portal via the ‘account information’ dashboard. Get a quick overview of assets by type, storage per asset type and the total amount of users, transfers and workflow jobs.

Make your data more useful by comparing them in the ‘usage’ dashboard. You can also see activity over time by selecting a ‘time frame’, or ‘click for details’ to drill down deeper into your statistics.

Get a quick overview of the most popular assets and search terms by going to the ‘most popular’ dashboard.

When you are looking for more detailed or drilled down information, you can easily apply filters. Filters allow you to narrow down your search to include only the metrics you need for the time period you are looking for.

Generate reports in just a few clicks, making it easy to share your portal insights with colleagues or managers.


For companies that have a wide range of products on offer, connecting Bynder with your PIM is the only way to ensure your products are represented best. Bynder’s retail customers store their product images in their DAM, which is packed full of functionality best suited for managing digital assets (cropping, focus points, etc.). Product images are then sent directly to the corresponding products in the PIM via a unique SKU number. Meanwhile, product information (e.g. color, brand, product hierarchy, etc.) is sent to the image in the DAM for easy searching and filtering. The result is a seamless experience where product information and images are managed in their respective best- in-breed platforms.

Connect Bynder to your CMS and select the right images to add to your corporate intranet or corporate website in seconds. Our CMS plugins make sure the media used on your website is brand- approved and up-to-date while automating tasks such as image updates. Plugins are available for Drupal, Sitecore, Wordpress, Hippo, TYPO3, & more.

Creating beautiful assets should not be a hassle, yet creatives are constantly downloading and uploading assets from various sources. With Bynder’s out-of-the-box plugins, your brand imagery is just a click away when using design tools. An integrated portal allows users to quickly search or filter for a specific file and drag & drop it into the artwork.

Bynder offers several single sign-on configurations. A "single sign-on" allows users to log into their networks or systems without having to log into each page individually while also being logged in to their favorite (web) applications. The key benefits are general ease of use, reduced password fatigue, less time wasted looking up and resetting forgotten passwords, as well as greater security controls.

In your fast-paced day-to-day activities, you need to have immediate access to all your materials at any given moment. With Bynder's mobile app, you will always have access to the most up-to-date assets in your portal, even when you’re offline.
