Custom metadata fields in Vy Bildbank

Metadata that fits the way you work

Standard fields like title and description get you far, but most organisations have their own information that has to follow the images. With custom metadata fields you decide what gets recorded – copyright, usage rights, project code or cost centre.

The fields become part of the image and can be searched just like everything else. That way everyone using the image knows which terms apply, without having to ask.

Decide what travels with your files

You control which metadata is read in when files are uploaded. Choose which fields to bring across from the original file and which to leave out, so only the information you want ends up in the media bank.

In the same way you decide what travels with images when they are downloaded. Metadata is embedded in the downloaded files according to your settings, so copyright, usage rights and other important information stays with the image wherever it is used.
