Pics.io

Digital asset management platform for storing, organizing, searching and sharing media

Visit Pics.io

Pics.io is a digital asset management (DAM) platform that helps teams collect, store, organize, search, and share images, videos, audio, and documents. It solves the problem of scattered files and inefficient retrieval by providing a centralized hub that runs on the customer's own storage, either Google Drive or Amazon S3, eliminating vendor lock-in and extra storage costs.

Key capabilities include AI-powered natural language search, auto-tagging, face recognition, text-in-image search (OCR), and speech-to-text transcription. The platform offers version control with side-by-side comparisons, approval workflows with on-asset commenting and Slack notifications, branded sharing portals with auto-conversion on download, and expiration controls for digital rights management. Integrations are available natively with Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, Slack, Shopify, and Zapier, with additional connections via API and webhooks.

Pics.io is designed for creative, marketing, and content teams across industries such as manufacturing, media, education, and e-commerce. It offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. Paid plans are seat-based, starting with a Solo plan for individual use, and scale through Micro, Small, and Enterprise editions. An AI add-on kit is available as a paid, tiered feature.
