Looking for Alternative to Extensis Portfolio?
Extensis canceled its on-prem option, pushing users toward costly cloud DAMs. Daminion offers a powerful on-prem alternative with superior features at a budget-friendly price.
Organize Corporate Digital Assets
Advanced AI and batch tagging tools to quickly and accurately organize vast media collections.
Centralize Access to Your Media Archive
A single access point to an organized structure of all corporate marketing and sales materials - for every team member.
Secure Storage
Daminion’s on-premise version stores all your data securely behind your firewall, with no file storage fees.
Maximize Your Digital Assets’ Value
Efficiently repurpose and reuse your assets to enhance productivity and ROI.
While other DAM providers keep shifting their focus to the cloud, we believe that Daminion's local version is our strength.
Why Daminion is the best Extensis Portfolio alternative?
Native Integration with Your File Server
Daminion’s on-premise version is installed on the same infrastructure as your file storage server or NAS, providing the fastest and most secure way to access and manage your media files.
More Efficient Asset Search

Smarter Metadata Organization
Our higher-precision AI features save you time by batching and auto-tagging your assets, allowing you to develop your business-specific vocabulary and keep your file library organized the way you want.
Effortless Migration and Integration
Many of the former Extensis Portfolio users have already transitioned to Daminion on-prem. Our experienced IT and support teams are here to guide the entire process, ensuring a seamless setup from start to finish.
Greater Security and Access Control
At Daminion, we prioritize the security of your digital assets. You can confidently manage permissions at a more granular level and choose which team members can access sensitive files.

What our clients say
Before Daminion we would spend hours looking for photos
Before Daminion we would spend hours looking for photos; searching for the right file to use in our presentations. We did try a different application before Daminion but we found it difficult to navigate

Now, when we have Daminion the required files can be found in a matter of seconds
Before Daminion, the marketing team had to go through folders manually to find the right files as the search function was practically useless without the right tags. Now, when we have Daminion the required files can be found in a matter of seconds

Using Daminion helps us to be more efficient
We used to have a different software which wasn’t as user-friendly as Daminion. Using Daminion helps us to be more efficient in working with images and saves a lot of time because we can have everything in one place now. Daminion is a step forward for us from what we had and we are convinced it is a great solution

Daminion undeniably saves a considerable amount of time
The time saved really depends on what the artists are searching for. If it's a niche item they're sure we've drawn before but can't recall where, which is common after 14 years, it can save hours of drawing. If they're looking for something they know we've used frequently and just need a starting point, it can save them around ten to 15 minutes. In all cases, it's a valuable tool.
