A media library allows you above all to easily store and manage your images. But Wedia wants you to discover so much more!
While using our Wedia CrossMedia solution does in fact allow you to conveniently supply your website with whatever visuals you like, it also offers numerous other advantages beyond this basic application:
- By relying on a single source, you avoid having duplicates of your media in your CMS and untimely modifications, ensuring that you’re only ever using one and the same version of any given image.
- Assigning a caption and specific key words to each of your images through your media library’s indexing process means that your online SEO is optimized for your published images.
- Since each image is directly linked to your media library, you can see exactly which images are published – and where – at any given moment.
- Wedia CrossMedia can warn you in advance when your rights to an image are about to expire and, if you’ve gone beyond the expiration date, can automatically remove images to which you no longer hold the rights.
- You can gather both internal statistics (about users of your media library) and external ones (views by web users) in order to closely monitor trends in the use of your media.
- You can also edit your images directly in the media library (adjust the format, dimensions, resolution, etc.) to create a specific sub-version for a dedicated webpage.
- If the image has been saved to Wedia CrossMediain its native format (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), the system takes care of transforming it into an Internet-appropriate format (PNG, JPEG). If the native file includes traces of trimming, you can request that the image be placed on a transparent background.

Don’t hesitate to consult our copyright assignment template to renegotiate the terms of your contracts with your photographers to ensure that you always have permission to use all your images.
