Metadata and Tagging
The Asset Manager provides a variety of tools to help you manage your asset data. This includes metadata, asset tags, categories, custom fields, and content alerts. This guide will walk you through each of these features.
All of the data returned by the Asset Manager is also available through the Management API. For more information, see the Management API documentation.
Metadata
This section displays image metadata, including:
- Filename
- Clickable imgix URL (e.g. https://assets.imgix.net/examples/bridge.jpg)
- Content Type
- File Size
- Dimensions
- DPI
- Faces (if face detection is enabled for your account)
Asset Tags
Asset tags are generated by AI-powered analysis. Tags are used to describe the content or subject matter of the image. Tags are displayed in order of their confidence score, which you can see if you hover over a specific tag.
Clicking on a tag will execute a search for other images in that Source with the same tag.
If you would like to remove a tag from an image, click the “Edit” button, click the “×” next to any tag that should be removed, then click the “Save” button. Removed tags will still appear but will be greyed out and the confidence level will be set to 0%.
Asset tag generation is a Premium feature and is not available for all accounts. Contact us if you would like to enable this premium feature for your account.
Categories
Categories are defined by users and can be used to organize your assets. To add a category, click the “Add” button and then either choose an existing category or click “Add new category” and type a new category. Clicking on a category will execute a search for other images in that Source with the same category.
Categories can be removed or edited via Asset Manager Settings.
Custom Fields
Custom fields are key-value pairs defined by users that can be used to associate information with your images. A common use case is to add a user or product ID, where the key might be “User ID” and the value would be “123”. To add a custom field, click “Add”, then either select from available keys or select “Add New Key”. Enter your key and value, then click “Save”.
Custom field keys can be removed or edited via Asset Manager Settings.
Color Data
The color data section will show the color profile, color model, and the image’s dominant colors. Clicking on a color will execute a search for other images that contain that color.
Color extraction is a Premium feature and is not available for all accounts. Contact us if you would like to enable this premium feature for your account.
Content Alerts
Content alerts are generated by AI-powered image analysis and cover five categories: Adult, Violent, Medical, Racy, and Spoof. Each image will receive a score in each of the five categories, listed here from low to high probability: Doubtful, Unlikely, Possible, Likely, Probable. If the image scores Likely or higher in either the Adult or Violent categories, the icon in the content alerts header will change to reflect the severity of the content alert. (The image highlighted in the screenshot below is not actually classified as Possible Adult; it is only used as an illustration.)
Content alerts are a Premium feature and are not available for all accounts. Contact us if you would like to enable this premium feature for your account.
