The DAM, rebuilt

Folders in the grid, drag-and-drop, and custom metadata — a media library built to scale.

The DAM, rebuilt

A media library stops being useful the day you can't find anything in it. That's the day most site builders' asset panels arrive at fast — a flat wall of thumbnails with a search box on top. We rebuilt Aglyn's DAM around the way libraries actually grow.

Folders live in the grid

Folders are first-class citizens of the library, shown right in the grid next to your files. You can create them as you upload, move files with drag-and-drop or multi-select, and keep site-level and organization-level libraries separate — org media is shared with every site that needs it, site media stays scoped.

Metadata that means something

Beyond names and sizes, assets carry custom metadata — alt text, tags, and the fields your team decides matter. Filters for type, upload date, and size narrow the grid quickly, and search works across it all.

Built into everything else

The same library backs the entry editor's cover picker, Besigner's image blocks, and the public site through the media CDN. Upload once, reference everywhere, and replace an asset in one place when it changes.

Room to scale

Bulk selection, bulk move, and bulk delete make housekeeping practical, and per-folder counts keep the structure honest. The DAM is boring in the best way: it stays out of your way until you need it, and it doesn't fall over when your library gets big.
