Supported file formats

On this page, you will find a list of all the file formats that are supported by our digital asset management (DAM) system. These file formats can be read and converted into web-friendly formats like JPEG, PNG, and WEBP. The file formats highlighted in blue are the ones that we prioritize in terms of accurately rendering them.

Additionally, certain file formats allow us to extract the content within them for full text indexation. This includes Microsoft Office documents, PDF documents, and Adobe InDesign documents. In other words, the system is able to read and understand the information contained in these types of files, making it easier to search and find specific assets within the DAM.

Adobe InDesign Documents

INDD files insertion into the DAM are strongly discouraged, because the rendering is likely to fail, due to missing links, fonts, incorrect file versions… We strongly advocate in favor of our .wedia file export, which is basically a “package” of the IDML + fonts + links in a single zip file.

idml

Adobe InDesign Markup Language documents

 

wedia

Wedia Print documents, exported with the Wedia Adobe Creative Cloud extension :

A zip containing the Indesign file, IDML, links and fonts.
