Stay Organized

Key DAM Features

Organize your project portfolio with automatic tagging, quickly find the right visuals, and let any team member create on-brand marketing and sales materials in minutes.

Bring all project photos, renderings, PDFs, and other files into a single, centralized library. No more hunting through network folders, drives, or someone’s personal PC – the whole studio has one source of truth.

Quickly pull together polished project selections for any client-facing situation. Marketing and Sales can assemble on-brand presentations and brochures in minutes instead of days, using up-to-date, approved visuals.

Replace scattered network folders and personal stashes with one controlled source of truth. Version control and custom tags keep teams from reusing old or off-brand visuals and eliminate the need to recreate missing materials from scratch.

Protect intellectual property and client-confidential projects with granular permissions. Control who can view, download, or share assets (internally or externally), and separate internal design references from public marketing images.

Manage and preview 150+ file formats in one place — photography, renders, PDFs, InDesign layouts, 3D models, videos, and more — so you don’t need separate tools just to open or organize different marketing assets. Everything your teams need is at their fingertips.

Browse assets from a project card, a map of built work, or a simple search bar, then refine results with filters tailored to your workflows. When you work with 3D, switch into an interactive 360° view right inside Daminion instead of guessing from flat thumbnails.

Real Workflows

How Architecture Firms Use Daminion

Organize your firm’s visual portfolio so teams can quickly reuse past work in proposals, presentations, your website, awards, and client communications.

Centralize & Control Access

Move digital assets from scattered network folders, personal devices, and third-party clouds into a single Daminion library (on-premise or cloud). Set up role-based access so the right people see the right assets, while sensitive projects stay restricted.

Improve Asset Discoverability

Configure metadata extraction from files and folders, then add custom tags and categories that match your projects and sectors. Run AI tagging on photos so they become instantly searchable by project, client, building type, location, and more.

Manage Your Portfolio Over Time

Continuously upload new assets—site photos, finished project photography, renders, PDFs, and marketing layouts. Mark best shots, update categories, and archive outdated materials to keep your portfolio current and easy to navigate.

Reuse Visuals Across Channels

Find relevant assets with targeted search queries, filter results by building type, date, and location, and identify the right files from thumbnails. Download and reuse them in new presentations, proposals, website updates, case studies, and social posts.
Before You Decide

Frequently Asked Questions

See how Daminion helps your team find the right visuals faster and present your work more confidently.

Organization tools: We don’t want you to organize content manually, so we give you automatic metadata extraction and AI tagging.
Advanced search: Use queries like “residential facade photo” or “competition presentation PDF.” Daminion will sift through all metadata and show results you can refine.
Performance: Daminion is fast even with catalogs containing millions of items. Scaling is not an issue.

Yes. You can organize projects using categories such as building type, location, client name, project status, and architectural style. For example, quickly find all retail projects in a specific city or all residential work from the past three years.

Yes. Once you upload a PDF with the proposal, you can link it to all assets used in that project—photos, drawings, and presentations. Later, you can open the PDF and Daminion will list associated files. You can also create per-project collections to filter and view all related assets.

Yes. Daminion provides truly granular access control. Administrators can:

Restrict access down to individual assets, not just entire collections.

Define visibility by tags or categories (e.g., “Confidential,” “NDA,” “Internal Only”).

Configure user roles with different functional permissions — for example, some users can only view assets, while senior partners can download, edit metadata, or share files.

This way, your entire team can browse the portfolio, while sensitive client information stays protected and accessible only to the right people.

No. You can keep your original structure when consolidating assets on a NAS. When Daminion scans a folder for the first time, it extracts useful metadata and stores it in the database to make assets easy to find.

Yes. Daminion generates previews for photos, PDFs, and presentations so you can identify the right file instantly. It also supports previews for CAD drawings and 3D models when needed.

Yes. Daminion shows previews for Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign files. We also provide integration with Adobe Creative Cloud, so you don’t need to change your established workflow.

Yes. Select assets, create a shared collection, and invite participants by email. Set viewing/editing privileges and even an access expiration date.

Yes. Most clients prefer the on-premise version for full control over confidential projects, especially those under NDA. We also provide a hosted version of Daminion, which is suitable for teams with smaller archives.

Client Reviews

What Our Clients in Architecture Value Most

See why architects worldwide choose Daminion for managing their project archives.

With Daminion, finding the right image takes just one word and one second.

Daminion significantly reduces the time spent on image searching and creating proposals. Daminion is much more convenient than the folder system. Because the number of folders always increases dramatically and makes the workflow difficult. Working in Daminion is also simple – one-word – one second – you already have the desired image.

Daminion helps us find project photos in seconds.

We have many photos related to different projects, so Daminion is an easy way to find what we need very quickly. The main way to use the program is photo management and quick file extraction. We can save time with Daminion, and that’s the most important thing.

The main problem that Daminion is planning to solve is time!

We tried six different solutions. There were several really manual solutions, but that did not really work. But then we came across Daminion, which was exactly what we were looking for.

Ed Linn
Design Team
The big thing for us is having an on-premise solution — not cloud-based.

The big thing for us is that we need to have a solution on-premise and not cloud-based. We have a lot of photos under non-disclosure agreements from clients who want them kept private. Another important factor is functionality and interface.

I want all the content to be easy to access and the software to be good to work with — now we have it all.

Mark Fugina
Head Librarian
What everyone finds most useful is geotagging.

We find geotagging very useful; location is very important because many engineers take pictures with their iPhones.

We are a big company, so we do many things. I couldn’t even name all the tags. Of course, some are used more than others: metallurgy has its tags, different types of rocks are tagged by a rock guy, and the electrical and wood guys have theirs.

But what all of them find useful is geotagging. They say: “Oh, we did a project in that city — let’s look there and compare.

One of the great things about Daminion is that all assets are referenced.

We don’t need to send files around because the whole team can use Daminion. We just refer to the assets directly, with no miscommunication or excessive file sharing.

Steven Yates
Marketing Team
Daminion gives our teams the tools to find their own resources.

That way, they don’t take up other people’s time.

Laura Reneke
Production Manager
Our priority was a quick visual snapshot without opening large CAD files.

Our priority was finding a solution that allowed us to have a visual representation, a quick snapshot, such as a PDF, without the need to navigate through large AutoCAD or Revit files. The ability to swiftly scan a floor layout plan, which contained all the essential details, was what we aimed for.
