Canto customer results and reviews

Canto has been a great solution for our teams. The AI-powered tagging features have been invaluable for organising and tagging our images.

Niels Klazenga

Canto provided a solution to all of our requirements, and then some. And it's so easy to use.

Alison Peake

Canto has drastically reduced the time spent on managing digital assets. We can now focus more on creating engaging content for our community rather than worrying about how to find and use the right images.

Our small university was looking for an affordable but flexible tool for digital asset management. Canto checked all the boxes—facial recognition, organisation, usability, customer support and more.

Julie

Canto's portal functionality significantly enhances asset management by providing a centralised, organised repository.

Ghia

I love the ease of use and the variety of ways to find and organise assets. I use Canto daily for a variety of reasons. I am enjoying the linking feature for related assets.

Angelique

We'd be totally lost without Canto. We utilise Canto for storing all of our completed artwork, our assets, and also our training documents. It's our "go-to" for everything we do, other than our design software.

Robin

Canto's smart album and tagging system allow for consistent metadata use across teams, and the search functionality is powerful—especially when combined with custom filters and keyword tagging.

Amanda

The recent addition of AI Visual search, along with the integration of metadata into search results, has significantly streamlined the process, making it align more seamlessly with our traditional photography workflow.

Skyler

Canto has allowed us to service our clients far better than before. We have lot of retail clients and every one of them has different specifications for the imagery. In the past, with some clients, I'd have to create custom version of specific product photos. Now, they can get what they want, when they want it and whatever size they need.

Wayne

One of our favourite features is the Portals. They let us build custom collections of marketing assets that are always current and perfectly on-brand, so our sales team isn’t wasting time digging through folders or second-guessing if a file’s outdated.
