We connect technologies and services so that the end result is a great experience. Storage, AI tagging, search indices, distribution channels, rights and workflows all work together, so you can focus on your creativity rather than plumbing tooling.
footage.one is a small developer team from Bochum, in the heart of the Ruhr region. We have been working on media management since before 2015 — image archives, stock footage, distribution. In 2015 we started building what would later become footage.one. In 2020 we incorporated it as a company.
We are not a marketing machine with an account-manager layer. You talk directly to the people who build and operate the platform.
EU hosting, GDPR-compliant and no vendor lock-in. You can bring your own storage — your files stay under your control.
REST with HATEOAS, OpenAPI, MCP, OAuth2 with PKCE. What we build connects to third-party systems rather than locking you in.
Transparent plans from €0. No forced demo calls, no enterprise gate for standard features like API or MCP.
You talk to the developers who built the system. Bug, request, question — it lands directly with the team, not in a ticket funnel.
Structure for your media library. Projects, albums, collections, episodes, asset relations.
Over 60 million terms in 12 languages plus AI suggestions ensure you can find every asset again.
Share and distribute media internally, with partners, or via automated distribution channels.
Alongside the platform, we also take on tailored development projects around media. If you need a connector, an API integration, an on-premise setup, or consulting, get in touch. We are also the right partner if you use a different DAM and need a connector or integration for it.
Integration of custom or non-standard storage backends — either with footage.one or with another DAM you already use.
Integration with editorial systems, PIM, shop, distribution platforms, or custom AI agents via REST and MCP.
Sparring on DAM selection, taxonomy, metadata schemas, migration strategy and rights models — based on experience from real-world projects.
Deployments in your own infrastructure when data must not leave your premises or regulatory requirements demand it.
Use footage.one as the backend for your own SaaS product with a custom UI on top. Or classically as white-label: our interface under your brand. Both run in production with us.
We are based in Bochum, in the heart of the Ruhr region. Here substance matters, not show. Software should deliver on its promises, without Silicon Valley hype.
Well connected, short distances, a vibrant tech scene around Ruhr University and the University of Applied Sciences. Built in Germany, hosted in the EU.
