What Phrasea is

Phrasea is an open-source digital asset management solution for centralizing, organizing, indexing, sharing, and publishing digital assets. It supports images, videos, audio, PDFs, Office documents, and DICOM files. Assets can be arranged in workspaces and hierarchical collections with multilingual metadata and access rights at workspace, collection, and asset levels. Search includes full-text and advanced search, autocomplete, facets, filtering, and sorting. The system reads and writes metadata, supports batch indexing and renditions, and preserves version history. A low-code workflow engine provides webhooks, job concurrency, failure recovery, communication between jobs, and real-time status. Phrasea can submit assets to third-party AI services for keywords, text detection, subtitling, color analysis, and shape or face recognition. Deployment options include SaaS, on-premise, or hybrid, with Docker and Kubernetes support. Phrasea Expose publishes responsive galleries with public, password-protected, or authenticated access. Security features include OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SAML, multifactor authentication, single sign-on, and fine-grained access management.
