About Canto

Purpose-Built for DAM with Advanced Brand Management Features

Canto is fundamentally a DAM solution with robust tools to help you manage, organise, and distribute digital assets efficiently.

Superior Sharing Capabilities

Canto supports unlimited portals, making it easier to share content securely with different user groups—internally and externally. In contrast, Brandfolder limits collections shared externally.

Flexible Pricing and Contracts

  • No long-term lock-in: Unlike Brandfolder's common three to five-year contracts, Canto offers flexible contract lengths, giving you freedom of choice.
  • Inclusive pricing: Canto’s base package includes most product offerings, while Brandfolder charges additional fees for various add-ons, such as integrations and end-user access​.

Industry Leading AI Features

Canto's industry-leading AI features set it apart as a powerhouse in digital asset management. With AI Visual Search, users can locate assets by analysing visual elements within images and videos, such as objects, colours, and scenes, even in the absence of tags or metadata. This groundbreaking functionality eliminates reliance on manual tagging and accelerates asset retrieval. Additionally, AI tagging and Facial Recognition streamline asset management.

State-Of-The-Art Security

By combining advanced encryption, robust authentication, strict role-based permissions, Australian data residency, and globally recognised certifications,  such as ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2, CCPA, Canto ensures that your digital assets are secure and compliant with the latest regulations no matter what region you're in.

Moving to Canto has been a success for more reasons than one for Destination Queenstown. Everyone can locate, use, and share assets quickly and easily due the Advanced Search functionality.

Daniela Jones, Destination Queenstown

 
We evaluated Brandfolder and Canto side by side. While Brandfolder had the core features we needed, we chose Canto because of its superior DAM capabilities. It aligned better with our long-term goals.
 
A customer in Retail sector
 
Coming from Brandfolder, Canto has it beat in terms of customisation control and the ability to preview assets visually in a unique way. The bulk metadata feature works great for what we do. We enjoy the slider tools for filtering media by length.
