OpenDAM /ˈˈoʊpən ˈdæm/ , formerly called Wikipixel, is an awarded free and open-source digital asset management platform written in PHP 5 with the Symfony framework 1.4 and distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 3.

The standard release of OpenDAM, known as OpenDAM Core, contains basic features common to media content management software.

These include user account registration and maintenance, menu management, image and video files upload, RSS feeds, copyrights management and system administration.

The OpenDAM core installation can be deploy onto an existing enterprise content management system, e-commerce website and CRM platform.

OpenDAM runs on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP (including Apache2) and a MySQL database to store content and settings.
