In Development
- Advanced Metadata & Taxonomy Management:Enhanced tools for large-scale library maintenance, including the ability to merge categories, mass-rename terms, and manage complex tag hierarchies to prevent “metadata bloat” as your library grows.
- Agency-Scale Batch Export Engine: Note: This is an infrastructure-intensive feature slated for Advanced Tier/Agency add-ons.
Under Consideration
- Native WordPress Gutenberg Integration:A seamless bridge between your PictaBase library and the WordPress editor. This feature will allow you to browse, search, and insert assets directly into your pages and posts without ever leaving the block editor or manually re-uploading files.
- Interactive Client Proofing & Selection Evolving our current sharing capabilities into a two-way collaboration tool. This update will allow external clients to “Favorite,” “Approve,” or “Reject” specific assets within their branded galleries, with real-time status syncing back to the PictaBase dashboard.
- Facial Recognition: Automated person detection and matching across your entire photo library. This feature uses AWS Rekognition to identify faces in new uploads and automatically match them against existing face collections, making it effortless to find “all photos of this person” without manual tagging.
