Directly link your DAM assets into InDesign — live.
ImageLink creates live links from your Digital Asset Management system straight into your InDesign documents. When an asset is updated in your DAM, refreshing the link brings in the latest version instantly.
Do you have a stock image provider, but wish you could import the images directly into InDesign? With ImageLink you can connect to a range of providers and import images, all without leaving InDesign.
Features
Everything you need to keep your InDesign documents in sync with your DAM — without the manual steps.
Live Asset Links
Drag any asset from your DAM directly into InDesign. A live link is created instantly — no exporting, no downloading, no extra steps.
One-Click Refresh
When an asset is updated in your DAM, refresh the link in InDesign and the latest version flows straight into your document.
FPO Renditions
If your DAM supports it, low-resolution FPO (For Placement Only) renditions are placed automatically so you can work fast without waiting for large files.
Transparent Authentication
Authentication with your DAM is handled silently by the plug-in. Secure systems just work without interrupting your layout workflow.
Browse & Search
The ImageLink browser panel gives you direct access to your online image libraries and DAM systems, including asset metadata, without leaving InDesign.
Works with EasyCatalog
Images placed by EasyCatalog can be live-linked using ImageLink. The two plug-ins are fully compatible and complement each other seamlessly.
How it works
From installation to live-linked assets in four straightforward steps.
Install the Plug-in
Download the 30-day trial and install ImageLink into Adobe InDesign. No complex setup or IT involvement required.
Connect Your DAM
Open the ImageLink browser panel and select your DAM provider. Authenticate once and your asset library is available immediately.
Drag & Link
Browse your assets and drag them into your InDesign layout. A live DAM link is created automatically, with FPO renditions placed on the page.
Stay in Sync
When an asset changes in your DAM, a single refresh in InDesign brings in the latest version. Your document is always up to date.
DAM and Stock Image compatibility
ImageLink is designed to be extensible. DAM vendors can add support by writing a single provider script to connect their REST API. We’re happy to talk with your vendor and help them implement this — or write the script ourselves.
