"Great for sorting and renaming"
What do you like best about Adobe Bridge?

Absolutely will recommend this free software. We use it for sorting all of our photos and placing them in the order needed. Then we use the renaming function which renames all the photos and in the text that we want! This has been a game changer as it has saved us a lot of time sorting through and renaming. Definitely one of the programs we would recommend as a photographer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Bridge?

To be honest, we haven’t found anything to dislike about it. It was free, and we use it for 2 functions only. It has served us well. No complaints here at all. The only thing I “dislike” is that we haven’t found more uses for it which I’m sure we will look into! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A reliable tool for managing Creative Assets"
What do you like best about Adobe Bridge?

I really appreciate how Adobe Bridge makes it easy to browse and organize large collections of files without having to open each one individually. The batch renaming and metadata editing tools save me a lot of time, and the seamless integration with Photoshop and other Adobe apps makes it a reliable hub for managing my creative workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Bridge?

While Bridge is powerful, it sometimes feels a bit heavy and slow, especially when handling very large libraries. The interface hasn’t evolved much compared to other modern asset managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Batch Renaming and that's about it."
What do you like best about Adobe Bridge?

Batch Renaming files is helpful and there is some meta data tagging options that look cool but I haven't found a need to really use it yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Bridge?

It feels a little bloated and some of the functions are cool, but something that I feel should be just a common OS feature and not require and entire app to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Access to everty tool and file you need on a workday"
What do you like best about Adobe Bridge?

The easy access to:

- files and folders

- software and their status - need upgrade etc

- help and inspiration

- cloud apps when on the go outside the office Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Bridge?

Well it is getting more and more expensive - maybe a new plan - where you can pay for 5/8 or 10 tools/software of your choice.

There are a lot of tools I never use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best program preview tool"
What do you like best about Adobe Bridge?

I work for a retail company, and my job involves having various file formats open in programs like Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, XD, Illustrator, PDF, and TIFF formats. The best way to view the contents of my folders is through Adobe Bridge, which offers thumbnail options as well as full-screen previews by pressing the spacebar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Bridge?

In previous versions, I often had to clear the cache, but for the past two versions, we haven't had this issue. If it does happen, you just need to clear the cache manually or set it to clean automatically at regular intervals.

Additionally, when you press CMD + F, which is a type of search function, it used to be easier to use as it searched directly for what you needed. Now it has a sub-filter that can be inconvenient, and if you don't configure the search properly, it can present problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most underappreciated, most powerful application in the Adobe family"
What do you like best about Adobe Bridge?

Bridge provides essential asset management and coordination among the Creative Suite/Creative Cloud applications, allowing previews of all file types (including video), keyword and other metatdata management, and is the hub of a full design workflow.

It is also deeply integrated with the Adobe design apps, handling global color settings, full editing of raw digital images, and automated image export through Photoshop. Bridge allows for sorting, viewing, rating, labeling and categorizing graphic, audio, and video files.

Adobe Bridge is the perfect hub for a creative workflow, so it is in constant use throughout my workday. Although designed to integrate the Adobe Creative Cloud apps, it also functions as a superior tool to the native OS file manager (Finder or Explorer), with batch operations, sophisticated file renaming, powerful file search, preview, and management functions.

Implementation is a matter of setting up a free Adobe account and downloading Bridge from the Adobe Creative Cloud website. Bridge is available with any Adobe Creative Cloud or Adobe Substance 3D subscription plan, but a paid subscription is not required to download and use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Bridge?

There is very little to dislike, as of Spring 2024. The Adobe website, LinkedIn Learning, YouTube, and other sources have plenty of tutorials and documentation to enable a user to use Bridge effectively. And it's hard to argue with "free." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely gem tool and with absolute NO Cost."
What do you like best about Adobe Bridge?

It is a great digital asset management tool that Adobe is offering for free to everyone. It helps us find, manage and organize our ever-growing collection of digital images. It allows users to add keywords And copyright Information as well filtering Images. The cools things it offers is batch Rename functionality which is of course immensly useful when handling large amount of image files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Bridge?

I can't think of any serious downsides for this tool. The only issue I have experienced few times is it being slowed down somehow, after a quick restart it comes back to normal pace though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
