Phraseanet

Phraseanet is an open-source Digital Asset Management (DAM) system developed by the French company Alchemy. It provides a self-hosted solution for businesses that need to organize, index, and distribute large collections of digital media like photos, videos, and documents. Because you host it on your own servers, you maintain complete control over your data, ensuring compliance with GDPR and data sovereignty requirements.

Key features include:

• Self-Hosted & Open-Source: Install Phraseanet on your own infrastructure. This gives you full autonomy over security, storage, and data processing.
• Advanced Indexing: Use thesauruses and controlled vocabularies to accurately tag and categorize your assets, making them easy to find and reuse.
• User & Rights Management: Define granular permissions for different user groups. Control who can view, download, or edit specific assets.
• API for Integration: Connect Phraseanet with other business tools like your CMS or PIM using its available API.
• European Expertise: Developed and maintained in Paris, France, Phraseanet offers a European-backed alternative to US-based DAMs, with optional professional support contracts available from its creators.
