What is Canto?
Canto enables users to collect, manage and share digital content from anywhere. A digital asset management solution, Canto helps brands in all industries take control of their content libraries and get more out of their digital assets.
A CENTRAL LOCATION FOR DIGITAL ASSETS No more digging through folders and hunting down files. Canto is a hub for digital content – including photos, videos, collateral, and other digital assets are where they are needed.
FIND FILES IN SECONDS Users can organize content in any way desired, and users don’t need to dig through folders to find what is needed. With advanced features like smart tags and facial recognition, the entire library is fully searchable.
COLLECT AND SHARE DIGITAL CONTENT WITH ANYONE Manage the flow of assets in and out of an organization’s library. Upload links make it easier to add content to a library, and unlimited sharing portals allow users to deliver polished, curated collections to any audience.
COLLABORATE To share assets with other teams, external partners and collaborators anywhere in the world. Flexible permissions ensure everyone can access everything they need – and nothing they shouldn’t.
MANAGE A BRAND Approval features keep users in control of what content goes out into the world. Avoid embarrassing mix-ups with version controls and expiration dates, and mitigate business risks with digital rights management tools.
A TOOL THAT FITS ITS TEAM With its configuration options, Canto adapts to how a team works. Plus, out-of-the box integrations snap into the tools a team already uses – including Slack, Microsoft, Adobe Creative Cloud, and others.
FULL VIDEO COMPATIBILITY Canto has a whole host of features designed just for video – including full video previews, timestamped annotations and smart tags, 360° video support, and trimming features to extract just the excerpts needed.

Pretty great product, horrible service
- Expensive, have not seen the full ROI
- Ease of use for end user
- Ability to re-use assets
January 15, 2023
Canto keeps us organized and on brand

Canto: Asset management you can't live without.
- When other associates ask us to hand select photos for an award submission, as an example, it saves an incredible amount of time with the search capabilities. Prior we'd have to open each file separately.
- We spend less money on digital rights to images

I Feel Like It's Frankenstein's Monster From the 90's!

- Our colleagues can find and share photos easier.

Rarely do I like software this much, but Canto has been amazing
- Covid: We all worked from home. It was a major impact for us to stop using a sketchy VPN that is slow and painful. We all became so much more efficient in our work.
- Sharing assets: Our company has grown substantially in the past 3 years. Having Canto means that we can easily share assets with our worldwide divisions. We are leading the way on this as the companies we acquired are using archaic servers. We will bring everyone in the Canto world to better manage our assets.
- Control: Prior to Canto, people were misusing images - not using the right ones, not using watermarks. Now it's all preventable and we are seeing better quality images used appropriately.

It works but it takes work
- It's hard to tell because the admins have spent heaps of time getting it to work
- It hasn't replaced any one solution so in that respect it's improved consistency
- We do have to keep buying users and admins which is annoying
October 03, 2022
Canto has some pros and cons
- Takes up a lot more time than expected in adding files to Canto
- Relieves me of having to search on hard drives
- Helps searching for images based on tags

Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- We are able to find archive photos easier
- The rest of the organization gets visibility into our assets
- Clarity on what the current approved version of an asset is
- POS: time to find assets has been greatly decreased - faster workflows.
- POS: colleagues report not being dependent on a single content-savvy person anymore to get suitable content.
- POS: no need for FTP-server, transfer, google drive share links,... anymore to share large files.
- NEG: streamlining the process of how to upload content to CANTO led to some delays in the availability of content for the organization (personal resources issue, not databank related).

Administrator and User
- Positive is the ability to find what people need without taking the creative services team's time to do so.
- Negative is how long it takes to properly tag each and every photo we upload. If there are ways to automatically add information that would be very helpful and efficient
- We've reduced the amount of time needed to search for images significantly.
- Integration with Office and Adobe has made using images in our work much faster.

Canto is almost too good to be true!
- As of right now, we are still in the process of transitioning so I do not know any details on overall business effectiveness or any hard numbers. But as of now it seems very capable of handling the amount of information my company holds.
- I think it is an amazing perk that you can literally upload any type of file on Canto, and then you can open any type of file on Canto as well. It is amazing to find a product that lets you open and view CAD or DWG files without having the actual program!
- The idea behind having our information more at everyone's fingertips and helping productivity has boosted moral and people are optimistic.
