Our new, easy-to-use image cropping tool now allows all PhotoShelter for Brands DAM users to resize images in real-time in the Library and Portal.

Speed up your brand’s storytelling with the new Crop tool in your PhotoShelter for Brands DAM Library. Resize and edit images instantly with the Crop capability now in your Library and Portal.

Instead of the three-step process of downloading, importing, and editing images in a third-party creative tool, you can now use the built-in Crop tool to resize images in the PhotoShelter for Brands Library and Portal. Create new, fresh assets to share with stakeholders and audiences in seconds!

Our new built-in Crop feature will help creative teams like yours:

  • Maximize the ROI of your brand assets by creating derivative versions quickly and easily! Create NEW visual content experiences by repurposing existing assets. Create your best images once, resize and crop them into new visuals to share, and see the return on your original creative investment grow exponentially over time! Creating derivative versions of high-performing visuals will help you A/B test the performance of different image sizes across your platforms!
  • Save time by streamlining your custom content creation workflow! The traditional three-step image editing workflow is now a one-click, in-platform feature: Crop on Download. If your brand’s graphic designers or social media managers are overwhelmed with requests to create any and all sizes any department may need, now anyone with access to your PhotoShelter for Brands account can resize any image to create the optimized image(s) they need.
  • Create social-optimized images instantly: Our list of social preset ratios (for Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter) now allows you to quickly crop an image for seamless social posting.
