Air for Art Directors: Where Creative Work Lives After It's Made

Air is a visual-first workspace for art directors and other creative leaders who want their tools to keep up with how they think. Find any asset by what's in it, keep every version stacked in one place, and skip the admin work that pulls you out of the creative flow.

The _world’s_leading creative teams run on air

You already have great tools for making the work. Figma, Photoshop, Premiere—these are extensions of how you think. The problem is actually everything that happens around it: hunting for the file from last month's shoot, tracking down which version went live, fielding pings for the latest logo. Air is the layer that sits between your creation tools and everything that comes after, so the time you spend on creative actually goes toward creative.

Find anything, the way you actually remember it

Search by what's in the file

Stop searching by filenames you don't remember

Search by color, object, face, scene, or spoken dialogue. The shot from the Austin trip with the green packaging? Type what you remember and pull it up in seconds—no folder spelunking, no Slack pings to the producer who organized the shoot.

Tagged automatically

Skip the metadata busywork

Air's AI tags assets as soon as they upload—objects, colors, faces, transcripts, text inside images. Your library gets more searchable the more you create, without anyone manually labelling files.

Built to be visual

See what you're looking at

Hover over a video to scrub it. Glance at a design file and see the layers inside. Air is built for people who think in images, not file extensions—so the interface shows you the work itself, not just its name.

Keep every iteration in one place

Every version, on top of the last

New rounds upload as a stack on the original asset—not as "logo_final_v7" sitting next to "logo_FINAL_v8." Compare versions side by side. Revert when you need to. Keep the full creative history without the file clutter.

Spend less time on the work around the work

Self-serve for everyone else

Stop being the team's file librarian

When non-designers can find approved assets themselves, they stop pinging you for them. Marketing pulls what they need from a library that's already organized, tagged, and current—so you can keep your head in the design tool instead of in your inbox.

Quick edits without context-switching

Resize a banner without opening Photoshop

Air Canvas handles the small stuff—background removal, object removal, resizing for different channels—right in the workspace. Save Photoshop for the work that actually needs Photoshop.

Files in from anywhere

External shoots, in one upload link

Send freelance photographers and videographers a single upload link. Their files land in Air, tagged and organized on arrival. No more shipping hard drives or chasing down Dropbox links that expired three months ago.

Plugs into the tools you already use

Pull from Air, push back to Air

The Figma plugin lets you browse your Air library without leaving Figma, and export finished frames back to Air when you're done. The Canva app pulls your approved Air images straight into your designs.. Air sits between your design tools and everything downstream.

Sharing without the permissions hassle

"Air empowered our marketing team. They could create boards and share assets with external agencies independently. It eliminated the hassle of permissions and made our marketing operations more efficient."

Pattern

Reclaiming nearly two days a week

At Pattern, an in-house creative team supporting four DTC brands made the switch from Dropbox to Air. Their Associate Creative Director, Dan Batten, went from spending 12-15 hours a week sorting and locating assets to just 1-2 hours—giving him back nearly two full days of creative time every week.

Air for art directors FAQs

What is creative asset management software for art directors?

It's a workspace built around how creative practitioners actually work—visual-first, with search that understands what's inside files, version control that doesn't create clutter, and feedback that stays attached to the work. Air covers all of that, plus integrations with the design and video tools you already use.

Is Air a replacement for Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or Premiere?

No. Air doesn't replace your design or editing tools—it sits between them and everything downstream. Use Figma and Adobe to make the work. Use Air to find, version, review, approve, and share it.

How does Air handle version control for design and video files?

Every new iteration uploads as a stack on top of the original asset, so you can compare versions, revert to earlier rounds, and keep one clean asset record instead of a folder full of files with version numbers appended to their names. Approvals are tracked so the current version is always clear.

Can non-designers find and use approved assets without asking me?

Yes—and that's a big part of why creative teams adopt Air. With permissioned libraries, smart search, and approval states attached to each asset, marketing and other stakeholders can self-serve from what's already been approved instead of pinging you for files.

Does Air work with Figma, Adobe, and Slack?

Yes. The Figma plugin lets you browse Air assets inside Figma and send finished frames back to Air. Air Flow for macOS syncs your workspace into Finder so you can open and save files directly in Photoshop or Premiere. Slack integration delivers comment, upload, and approval notifications where your team already works.

How fast can my team get up and running on Air?

Most teams are productive within their first week. Setup takes minutes, native imports pull your archive directly from Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box with metadata intact, and the interface is designed to feel familiar to anyone who works in visual tools.
