Digital asset management, superpowered by scripting.
Build What’s Next in Bridge
Adobe Bridge®, integrated digital asset management for Creative Cloud applications, becomes even more powerful with scripted plug-ins you build in industry-standard JavaScript. Automate complex file conversion processes, manipulate metadata in bulk, create custom workspaces and interfaces, and integrate workflows across Adobe CC apps.
The guides, reference documentation, and sample code in the Adobe Bridge SDK show you how to write plug-ins using ExtendScript, the extended standard JavaScript that provides access to the Creative Cloud APIs. Download the SDK today and build that superpowered asset management tool you and your users want.
Build plug-ins with familiar tools
Adobe Bridge plug-ins are built in ExtendScript, Adobe’s implementation of JavaScript extended to expose the API. You can build plug-ins in the ExtendScript Toolkit, Adobe’s rich JavaScript IDE, or your favorite JavaScript toolset.
Create your own custom workspaces
The Bridge API gives you full control of the application’s interface, enabling you to build custom workspaces that suit your needs (or those of others as well!)
Start from a solid foundation
The Bridge SDK comes with an extensive library of samples that demonstrate how to access and leverage virtually the entire API. No matter what you want to build, you’ll find examples to show you the way.
Create your own UI
ExtendScript with the Bridge API lets you define custom windows, palettes, dialogs, and navigation bar items to give users the kind of control you want.
Extend across apps
You can build ExtendScript plug-ins that work across Adobe Creative Cloud apps by placing them in the shared scripts folder. Your script can run on application startup and automate workflows across CC.
