Anyone who works with images has been there. You know exactly which image you're looking for, but can't remember the file name, where it sits in the folder structure, or what tags were used. You remember the subject, the mood, maybe the colors. But that rarely cuts it in a traditional search field.
With Mediaflow's visual AI search, that's all it takes. It can even surface images you didn't know you had, as long as you can picture the subject. Open Command Palette with Command + K on Mac or Ctrl + K on PC and describe what's in the image in your own words.
The feature works completely independently of manual tags, which means you can type something like "person standing on a beach" or "red car on a highway." The AI analyzes the actual image content and finds matches based on the subject, not on what someone wrote as a filename or in a metadata field.
You can also search using an image as your starting point. Drag and drop an image into Command Palette, paste one from your clipboard, or upload a file from your computer, and Mediaflow finds visually similar content in your media library.
If you'd rather start from an image that's already in the platform, just choose Find similar images from the file menu instead. Both options are useful when you want to find variations on a subject, build a series with a consistent look, or spot duplicates in your library. It's also a great way to check whether you already have images in a particular style.
Instead of clicking through folders or guessing at search terms, you get the right material quickly, even when you're not quite sure what to type. The result: less searching, fewer compromises, and a workflow where you can actually use the content you already have. Right when you need it.
Anyone who works with images and other media files runs into the same issue: when a workflow leans too heavily on manual habits, getting started as a new user can be tough. How do you quickly find your way through menus and folder structures that may not follow the logic that feels natural to you?
Mediaflow has become Great Place to Work-certified, and we couldn't be more pleased and proud.
