Adobe Creative Cloud Integration
Work even more efficiently in your design programs by integrating Kontainer directly with Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. Insert images, logos, graphics, and edited files straight from your DAM library without leaving the Adobe environment – and avoid manual upload/transfer steps.
Description
Bring your DAM closer to your design work
With the integration between Kontainer and Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop and InDesign), your designers can pull assets directly from Kontainer, search using metadata, browse folders, and insert approved files without switching between systems. All assets remain versioned, metadata-enriched, and secured through your access rights.
This plugin solution makes the design workflow smoother while minimizing the risk of using incorrect files.

Why?
Why is an integration with Adobe Creative Cloud + DAM important?
Designers and marketing teams often work with large volumes of assets, multiple versions, and varying media needs – and switching between systems creates wasted time and increases the risk of mistakes. With Kontainer + Adobe integration, file handling moves into the design program itself, reducing friction.
This ensures faster production, higher quality, and brand guidelines compliance at every step.
Use Cases

- Graphic teams insert logos and visual assets directly into InDesign for brochures and catalogs
- Designers place product images in Photoshop during campaign production
- Version control ensures projects always use the latest approved files
