Organization & Search in ImageKit DAM

Find anything in seconds. Keep every asset structured, searchable, and ready for use, no matter how large your library grows.

Organize with AI-powered metadata, tags, and description

Use LLMs to understand your images, extract structured information, and automatically classify assets, aligned with your business vocabulary.

Ask questions, get structured metadata and tags

Configure AI Tasks in natural language to extract exactly what you need from an image. Ask questions that make sense for your business: "What is the collar type of the tshirt?", "Is this the interior or the exterior of the car?" The LLM analyzes the image and returns structured metadata fields or tags, ready to power search and workflows.

Bring your own vocabulary

Standardize how assets are classified by giving AI a predefined list of approved values. Whether it's "SUV" vs. "Sports Utility Vehicle" or "T-shirt" vs. "TShirt", the AI selects only from your chosen terminology, keeping your taxonomy consistent across teams and workflows.

Auto-generated descriptions

Generate clear, contextual descriptions for every image using AI. Use them as alt text for accessibility, improve on-page SEO, or enrich asset metadata for search without manual effort.

Human-in-the-loop review

AI does the heavy lifting, but your team stays in charge. Review, edit, or approve AI-generated information, and manually add or update attributes where needed. Combine automation with human oversight to ensure accuracy, consistency, and control at scale.

Total control over your metadata structure

Define exactly which metadata fields appear, and which are mandatory, for different folders and workflows.

Ensure critical information is never missed by making key fields required at upload. Improve consistency, compliance, and discoverability across your DAM.

Advanced search built for speed and precision

Go beyond the autocomplete search with powerful filters across tags, custom metadata, file type, size, dimensions, date, and more, and combine them using advanced logic to pinpoint exactly what you need.

Save frequently used queries to instantly access fresh search results and streamline repeat workflows.

Search the way you think: Visual & Natural Language Search

Describe what you're looking for, or use an input image, and let AI do the rest.

Natural language search

Type queries like "sunset on the beach" and instantly see relevant assets based on what's inside an image, even if those exact words aren't in the metadata or file name.

Find visually similar files

Upload an image or select an existing asset to find visually similar files. Perfect for discovering alternate shots, resized variants, or creative inspirations.
