What is Tagbox?
Tagbox.io is an AI-native digital asset management (DAM) platform designed to help creative teams, agencies, event companies, retailers, and eCommerce brands host, organize, and instantly find their photos and videos. The platform combines enterprise-grade AI capabilities with consumer simplicity, automatically detecting people, objects, scenes, and logos in your media using advanced AI. Unlike traditional DAMs that rely on manual folder organization, Tagbox uses AI wizardry including deep image search, face recognition (including in video), auto-tagging, and semantic search to make your entire media library instantly searchable.
Key features include AI logo detection (beta for Pro users), semantic/natural language search across 100 languages, searchable video transcription supporting 99 languages, face recognition in both images and videos, visual similarity search, duplicate file detection, and OCR text-in-image search in 6 languages. The platform supports unlimited users on every paid plan, offers native desktop sync apps for Mac and Windows, CDN embedding for websites, FTP integration for real-time event photo uploads, and API v2 for programmatic integrations.
Tagbox is specifically built for teams managing large photo and video libraries - events companies, creative agencies, retail/eCommerce brands, nonprofits, education institutions, drone operators, and food/hospitality businesses. It's ideal for organizations that need to quickly find specific assets without remembering folder paths, teams collaborating on visual content, and multilingual organizations needing cross-language search capabilities. The platform won #1 on Product Hunt and offers a 30-day free trial.
The platform differentiates itself with custom AI tagging (Enterprise tier only), which allows supervised training where you provide 25-50 examples per tag to achieve 90%+ accuracy for your specific products, SKUs, or logos. Pro users get second-by-second video timeline analysis and AI logo detection. The Small Business Program offers eligible teams up to 50% off the Basic plan.

How does the custom AI tagging process work?
For Enterprise customers, Tagbox collaborates with you to identify specific tags you need (like 'Red Nike Air Max' or 'Main Stage Keynote'). You provide 25-50 examples per tag, and the AI is fine-tuned to achieve 90%+ accuracy for your specific products, SKUs, or logos. This is the only DAM with a documented supervised training workflow.
Does Tagbox support face recognition in video?
Yes, Tagbox.io has face recognition in video on all plans (shipped January 2024). This is extremely rare in the DAM category - only Tagbox and Canto have this feature. You can find all video clips containing a specific person with timestamps.
