Getty Integration
Getty Images is a royalty-free image library where you can find countless creative stock photos, vector art illustrations, stock photography, and high-definition videos. The Getty integration automatically uploads licensed assets from your Getty account (or multiple accounts) to your Bynder DAM for a centralized asset management experience.
How to enable the Getty integration
Contact your Customer Success Manager to learn more about enabling the Getty Integration.
Important Information on Licensing
Before enabling this integration please check re-downloading rights with your Getty Account Manager. Each license agreement with Getty is unique, and only your Getty team will be able to determine what rights your account has. Specifically, this connector will re-download any asset that you or your organization downloaded within the current license term.
If your account does not have re-download rights, enabling this connection may cause duplicate downloads. That potentially impacts download limits under your account agreement. This connector is only compatible with the "Premium Access" licensing type.
Many enterprise accounts with Getty fall under that type. It will re-download any asset in the license history within the licensing term. Any assets licensed prior to that term will not be re-downloaded. Specific dates for those terms are only available from Getty.
