Faster Search and Discoverability
WTight deadlines are never made easier by the assets that you cannot find. With Pics.io DAM solution for universities allows you to save up to 10/hours on searches per user by letting you filter assets not only by their filename but by keywords, visual tags, and other metadata.
Improve Delivery Through Metadata
One asset can be repurposed for school promos, internal use, and textbooks. Quickly remembering which version goes where, however, is a problem. Using Pics.io digital asset management for higher education metadata management features, you can add extra information to the asset to search for the exact one you need in a flash.
Consistent Message Across the Board
It is important to ensure that all used assets create a consistent image of your institution and its values.

Use Websites to Impress Stakeholders
Pics.io’s digital asset management solution for colleges has a special way to showcase and share multiple assets at once - websites. Websites let you create interactive brand portals to showcase photos, images, videos, and more. Rather than sharing multiple assets as a trivial list, Websites let you create beautiful galleries that can be embedded on your official .edu website.
Protect Your Information With Role Management
Pics.io DAM software for higher education allows you to restrict users’ access to assets without creating a separate media repository for each particular group. Use intuitive permission management to limit the ability to see, edit, or upload assets to your DAM to eliminate confusion and leaks of sensitive information.
How Our .Edu Users Use Pics.io
Concordia College
Concordia College is a private college in Moorhead, Minnesota. Established in 1891, Concordia focuses on Liberal Arts education and enrolls over 2,500 students.
In 2018, Concordia College sought to create a RISE fundraiser with the goal of raising $150 mil in donations to fund student scholarships, construct new li, and more.
Problem
RISE was an entirely new campaign that required Concordia to create numerous promotional and marketing materials from scratch. This required fast work, and coordination across diverse teams of photographers, designers, professors, event organizers, and more.
We do all our own photography in-house, to maintain low-cost, high-quality, & quick turnaround. And with three designers, plus writers and social media specialists, everyone needs access to photos, and those photos need to be organized, tagged, and labeled so they can be searched. Without a well-setup DAM, we couldn’t produce the quality and quantity of work that we do, because so much time would be spent trying to find photos instead of designing brochures or other assets.
Solution
Pics.io DAM solution for schools solution played not the smallest role in this endeavor by streamlining the content production on a tight schedule. The time that Concordia had saved on micromanaging assets and setting up collaborative infrastructure could be then dedicated to the actual production and polishing of the collaterals.
Result
Concordia College’s fundraiser was successful as the school gathered over $130 million dollars. What’s more, the campaign had also improved Concordia’s notoriety as the advertising video they’ve created with the aid of Pics.io digital asset management for educational institutions had won 2 regional advertising awards.
Pics.io approximately saves us half an hour per image. I like the interface in Pics.io DAM. I think it's easy to navigate. I really like this product. There was nothing in place before I got here. Adopting Pics.io digital asset management has been a big step in the right direction for us. So thank you!

"Pics.io helps centralize our storage, making our photos and other assets easy to archive and retrieve. The integration with Google Drive ensures everything is backed up and safe. We also appreciate the tagging and custom fields, which make it easier to organize and search for assets."
Oliver
ADI.tv’s Head of Marketing
“Before Pics.io, our team spent up to 13% of their day just finding and uploading designs—on average, 9%. Since implementing Pics.io, the marketing team specifically has seen a 73% reduction in time spent searching for and retrieving assets compared to pre-launch.”
Madeline
Chief Marketing Officer at Keyes Company
"Pics.io helped us clean up that process. It’s now much easier to organize, share, and access content without wasting time digging through duplicates or endlessly searching for the right file."

Mike
Brand Manager at MT Solar
I absolutely love how adding comments to photos or videos or adding comments to videos is time-stamped. And then you can also set time codes in a comment too. That's been hugely helpful for me as a video editor.
David Roseberry
Media Director, Collage Dance
We were searching for a service that would help us organize, manage and utilize our photos & media assets. We were spending a lot of time, sometimes hours, looking for the necessary file! Luckily, with Pics.io searchable and shareable asset organization, we are better organized and no longer have this issue.

I find Pics.io the easiest to use, the most intuitive, and the most robust
Abby Metzger
Director of Communications at Global Forest Generation
The main thing that drove us to you was that we could use our storage system based on our Google Drive system. All the other providers were charging lots of extra money for storage.
Rafael Oseguera
Senior Post Producer Analyst, Kavak
So the biggest challenge that was solved was getting every contributor working in the same location, all the files living together
Dennis Zechman
Creative Director, WebMechanix
I can't believe how well Pics.io DAM works. It's really amazing! Our staff put files in a shared Google Drive just for this purpose and then it shows up in Pics.io
Debi Goldberg
Digital Director, PEN America
We needed a metadata-based solution where we could just flag assets or write the description and then use the search tools to be able to discover those files more easily

Pics.io DAM is not only a time saver but convenience, and just allows us to be more productive

Christina Cronin
Communications Manager, Build the Era
Pics.io has dramatically sped-up the process of storing, sorting, and searching our photos. The positive impact it has had on our productivity has been immeasurable. And it uses our existing Google Drive storage, so no need to manage yet another cloud storage platform.
Evan Balko
Content Specialist Concordia College
Last year we realized that we needed a Digital Asset Manager (DAM). None of us were saving images in the same location and there was no way to search for them. That's when we found Pics.io! One year later all our images are tagged, searchable, and even have face recognition! Pics.io has saved us a lot of time and money.
Hannah Wilson
Regional Stewardship Manager Georgia-Alabama Land Trust
It is very intuitive and brings a lot of necessary features for today's workflow. For me, the foundation with Google Drive integration was tipping the scale and I made the decision to get more into it. For somebody getting in touch for the first time with classical dam-services, it is a perfect starter with more than fair pricing and a 24/7 scaling option for all features.
Benjamin Frischbier
Art Direction SAE Institute GmbH
It’s so easy to find and reuse images with Pics.io! Everything is kept in one place and we can tag and sort our files cross-team, and then share them with our PR team. Without Pics.io it would be impossible to keep on-top of our social media marketing.
Alex Wilder
Head of Design & Branding Inception Group
What we really like about Pics.io is that it allows you to build everything off your cloud storage. It’s really great as we’re already paying for your cloud storage to store all our files in the cloud, so it seems kind of silly to pay twice, right? With Pics.io you get the same unlimited storage for the same effective price!
Ross Cromartie
President of RocketBrand
Great system! We've been using Pics.io to store and modify our pictures here at work for some months now. The assistance is really good, fast and efficient.

We've already started a trial to learn more about the Pics.io tool, but it feels like we've known it for years. I'm super excited to show this tool to our clients.
