What is DAM?

Digital Asset Management (DAM for short) is the process of storing, organizing, transforming, and sharing photos, PDFs, and other digital assets. 
 
DAM software is a central database for digital files. It helps businesses store, manage, and distribute digital assets to wherever they need to go. 

What are digital assets?

Digital assets are digital files and media assets that a business uses like:
Photos

A DAM system helps you optimize digital assets by providing tools to transform and resize assets as needed. Whether it’s resizing images, compressing files, or preparing content for different platforms, A DAM system makes sure your content is perfectly tailored for where it needs to go.
With DAM software, sharing digital assets across various channels and with different teams is easy.
