Frequently asked questions

How does search in Sirv AI Studio compare to Canto?

Canto lists AI-powered search and tagging. Sirv AI Studio uses full-text and fuzzy search across file names, alt text, tags, and custom metadata, with filters for file type, source tool, date, and favourites. If AI tagging of a large creative library is your main need, test Canto's search on your own files.

Can I share assets externally like Canto's portals?

Sirv AI Studio has share links with optional passwords, expiry dates, download controls, watermarks, and view counts. Canto's brand portals are branded pages you can customise further. Share links cover sending approved product images to a retailer or agency. For a branded portal that serves many audiences, Canto does more.

What does Sirv AI Studio add that Canto does not?

AI processing on the assets themselves: background removal, upscaling, generation, video, and alt text, with batch sizes set by plan. Sirv AI Studio also links assets to products, syncs with Shopify (Beta), and on Growth and above runs a Supplier Portal that checks every upload. Canto focuses on storing, finding, and sharing assets.

How do I move from Canto?

Export your assets and metadata from Canto. Upload the files to Sirv AI Studio by drag-and-drop or URL import, bring the metadata in from a CSV file, and rebuild albums as folders or smart collections. Link product images to their products, then invite your team and set roles.

Which teams should choose Canto?

Marketing and creative teams that want a DAM with brand portals, proofing, templates, and multi-language support, and that do not need AI image editing. Product teams that spend their week fixing images for a store get more from Sirv AI Studio.
