2024 year summary and a prologue to 2025

2024 was a year of maturing for Tagbox.io. After building a lot of core functionality in 2023 (see last year's summary), we decided to focus on advanced use cases, while ensuring our main features were further developed and refined. Read on for a closer look at what we accomplished, and stay tuned as we give a sneak peek into our plans for 2025.

2024 Highlights

Advanced Core Features

This year, we refined the foundations of Tagbox.io to make it faster, smarter, and more flexible.

• Table View: See more data to better organize and analyze their assets.
• Structured Tagging: Enhanced tagging to work together with your categorization, so that you wouldn't need to remember your 200 tags by heart.
• PDF and Video Thumbnails: Improved file visibility for non-image assets, making PDFs and videos easier to find and use.
• Performance: Boosted speed and reliability across all aspects of the platform. This is so easily overlooked, but at the end of the day, it might have the most important impact on your day-to-day. Of course, there's always more to do there.

AI Enhancements

AI continues to be the backbone of Tagbox.io, and in 2024 we took it to the next level:

• Custom AI Tagging: Tailored AI models to identify niche items, like sponsor logos, making it perfect for event professionals to highlight sponsorships. It's also great for retail, where it can autotag specific products like "red Nike sneakers" or "blue Levi’s jeans." Event professionals can use it to tag features such as "conference stage setups" or "award ceremony moments," ensuring every asset is effortlessly organized and accessible.
• Face Recognition in Video: Built on our existing face recognition for photos, enabling users to pinpoint specific individuals across video content effortlessly.

‍

Empowering Teams to Do More

Our users asked for more control, and we delivered:

• Crop & Export: Added tools to customize and share assets directly from the platform.
• Share to Social: Recently introduced direct sharing to social platforms over the past few weeks, boosting attendee engagement at events.

‍

Enterprise Capabilities

We’ve expanded our offering to support enterprise-grade use cases:

• Asset embedding via CDN: Enabled seamless embedding of files into websites.
• Integrate with other tools using API: Provided developers with the tools to build custom integrations.
• Real-time photo uploading via FTP: Streamline photos during events instead of days later to maximize impact.

‍

Going Global

We localized Tagbox.io and added full support for Spanish, Portuguese, and French. We'll continue to improve localization and expand into more territories in 2025.

Plans for 2025

Adobe, Canva, and Figma integrations

This will be, by far, the most exciting improvement for 2025. Integration with your favorite design tools are on the way, and sooner than you think! You'll be able to add assets to your designs directly, instead of going back and forth between Tagbox.io and other tools, and needing to download and re0upload everything all the time.

‍

Advanced Use Cases

We’re developing solutions for specialized needs:

• Copyright Management: Simplifying rights tracking and ensuring compliance.
• Upload Links & Tagging Validation: Ensuring uploads are complete and properly tagged.
• FTP for Real-Time Events: a first version was released in 2024 as part of our enterprise plan and got massive traction. We're planning to improve this, add more functionality, and open it up to more users.
• Automatic logo detection: We were legit surprised by how many people need this. Whether you're an event planner wanting to add value to your sponsors, or a multi-brand retailer looking to automatically organize your products, this is going to be a massive improvement for so many folks

Continuing to Improve

As always, we’ll continue to refine what’s already great. Your feedback has been invaluable, and we’re committed to making Tagbox.io the best tool for your creative workflows. If there’s anything you think we can improve, reach out at hello@tagbox.io.

Here’s to another year of staying organized with Tagbox.io!
