# Kontainer + Stock Libraries

Kontainer integrates with leading stock libraries such as Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, and iStock, allowing you to synchronise purchased images directly into your Kontainer DAM. Assets are automatically imported, tagged, and made available to your entire organisation – without manual downloads, uploads, or metadata work.

#### **Description**

## One Workflow. No Manual Handling.

Buying stock images shouldn’t break your content workflow. With Kontainer, licensed assets from your preferred stock libraries flow directly into your DAM, where they become part of your existing structure, permissions model, and distribution channels.

No local downloads. No lost assets. No inconsistent naming.
