Find an asset in the Creative Library

5 stepsUpdated 13 Oct 2026

Narrow the library by client and category, search by name, tag or spec, and switch between Gallery and Table.

Before you start

Steps

Tick a step’s number when it’s done. We’ll remember where you were.

Open Creative Library and choose a client, or keep All clients.
Pick a category chip, such as , Display or Unsorted. Each shows its count.
Type in Search assets… to match names, file names, tags, spec names, categories, or the words “video” and “image”.
Switch between Gallery for thumbnails and Table for columns: Asset, Type, Size, Dimensions, Plan eligibility and Status.
Select an asset to open its details.

When it worked

The asset’s drawer opens with its preview, name, properties, tags and spec check.

How it works

Explainer: Categories, tags and processing

After upload, Orbit processes each file and sorts it into a category from its size and format: CTV Launch, OLV, Display or Unsorted. Archived assets sit under Archived.

A chip shows only when it has assets, with its count beside it.

Category chips
Chip	What’s in it
All assets	Everything that isn’t archived.
CTV Launch	Videos that pass the TTD CTV spec.
OLV	Videos that pass an OLV spec but not CTV.
Display	Images that pass a display spec.
Unsorted	Assets that failed processing, still need review, fit no TTD spec, or don’t fit a channel their linked plan buys.
Archived	Archived assets only.

Grey tags describe the file: “video” or “image”, “banner” for an image that fits a display size, and “vertical” for anything taller than it is wide.
Other tags show in purple.
While files are processing, the library checks every few seconds and updates the cards. In Table view, the Status column shows where each file is, such as analyzing, ready or failed.
Assets a client uploaded from their portal carry a “client” badge.

Limits: What you can upload, and the library’s limits

Upload MP4 or MOV video up to 512 MB, and JPG, PNG, GIF or WEBP images up to 25 MB. Each upload belongs to one client.

Files the Creative Library accepts
Kind	Formats	Largest file
Video	MP4, MOV	512 MB
Image	JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP	25 MB

Pick a client before uploading. You can’t upload while the client menu says All clients, unless your agency has only one client.
You can tie an asset to one of the client’s media plans only while uploading. It can’t be changed afterwards.
You can drop or choose several files at once. They upload one after another, and an error stops the files after it.
Each view shows the newest 60 assets, with no further pages. Narrow it with the client menu, a category chip or search.
Assets can’t be deleted, renamed, retagged or downloaded in the library. Archive what you don’t need.
