The asset library and stock images

The asset library

An image uploaded once can be reused in any experience you can reach, rather than uploaded again each time — the same photograph in four experiences costs four times the storage against your plan.

Every upload is filed at a sharing level: your own files, the workspace's shared library, the whole organisation, or Panova's own stock. See Sharing assets with your team.

Adding files

The button above the shelf names where a file will land — Upload to Workspace, Upload to Organisation. Choose the library first, then upload.

You can choose several at once, or drop a handful onto the panel. They go up one after another rather than all together, and the dialog counts through them — Uploading 2 of 5. Anything refused is left out and the rest still land, so one bad file in a folder of ten does not cost you the other nine.

A set arrives undescribed, because nobody has been asked what five pictures show. Add the descriptions afterwards from the library.

Stock images

Panova can search Pexels, Unsplash and Pixabay from inside the image picker, Pexels, Pixabay and Coverr for video, and Freesound from inside the audio picker. This uses your own provider key, added on Account → Integrations, so the usage and the terms are yours. Keys are stored encrypted and used only on your behalf.

A key is free from all five, but read what each one commits you to first — a new Unsplash key is rate-limited until Unsplash approves it, and that takes them about five working days. See Connecting a stock photo or sound provider.

Storage

Storage counts against your plan. Organisation → Usage shows what is being used and by which workspace.
