Visual AI search, when you know what the image looks like but not what it's called

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.

Visual AI search, when you know what the image looks like but not what it's called

Describe what you're looking for

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.

Search with an image as your reference

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.


Now you can AI-label your material in Mediaflow

24 August 2026

Since 2 August 2026, the EU AI Act has required that AI-generated and AI-manipulated content be clearly labelled. This applies above all to so-called deepfakes: images, audio and video created or altered with AI in a way that makes them appear authentic. It doesn't have to involve people; it could just as easily be a place, an environment or an event that looks real to the viewer.

Your entire image bank, right inside Photoshop

A common problem for many people working in Photoshop is that the creative work happens in one tool while the source files live somewhere else entirely. Mediaflow's Photoshop integration lets you bring that whole flow into a single step.
