DBGallery is digital asset management software that provides a shared repository for organizing, searching, and distributing images, videos, and documents. It is available as software as a service (SaaS) and for on-premises deployment.[3][4]
Features
[edit]DBGallery supports metadata-based searching, tagging, duplicate detection, and version control. Users can organize assets in folders and collections.[4] Custom metadata fields allow organizations to define additional searchable information and configure where it appears in the interface.[5]
Collaboration tools include configurable review and approval workflows, comments, annotations, and notifications when assets or workflow statuses change.[6] Access permissions can be assigned to users and roles for individual folders and collections.[7] External sharing links can have expiration dates and download restrictions.[8] Audit trails record user and asset activity, including metadata changes, downloads, and access through sharing links.[9]
Artificial intelligence features include object and face recognition, optical character recognition, generated image descriptions, and video transcription and scene descriptions.[10]
Deployment and integration
[edit]DBGallery provides a REST application programming interface (API) for searching, uploading and downloading assets, and adding metadata from other applications.[11] Authentication options include single sign-on integration for hosted and on-premises installations.[12] The developer states that the platform scales to support collections containing millions of assets and deployments serving thousands of users.[10]
History
[edit]Development began in 2005 as a client–server desktop application for image tagging, and the product became commercially available in 2007.[1] By August 2013, DBGallery was offered as both an intranet system and a SaaS service.[3]
Version 6.5 added custom metadata fields in 2014.[13] Version 15, released in February 2025, introduced optical character recognition and AI-generated image descriptions.[2][14]
In September 2026, DBGallery announced expanded AI metadata capabilities, including customizable description prompts, video transcription, and automated video scene descriptions.[10]
