The migration from Canto
Many organizations switching DAM systems share similar challenges: rising licensing costs as teams grow, low adoption due to complexity and too many seperate tools required for simple workflows. Migrating to ImageBank X allows teams to simplify their stack while improving collaboration and scalability.
Our team helps move your files, structure metadata, and ensure a smooth transition so you can start seeing value quickly. We also support onboarding, optimize workflows, and ensure your teams adopt the system efficiently from day one.
Access should not be restricted
Per-user pricing limits adoption and prevents organizations from extending access to the people who actually need the content. ImageBank X removes seat-based pricing so assets can flow freely across teams, regions, and partner networks without cost barriers.

Solvita Akmene
Global Digital Marketing Manager
“It saves time when, for example, retailers can independently retrieve logos, marketing materials, the latest certificates, etc. from a single location. Everyone can be confident that the latest version is available in ImageBank. The most important features of the DAM are easy sharing (e.g., collection baskets) and links to large files (videos, print materials). There is sufficient storage space for videos and print materials with large file sizes.”
Anne Huhtala
Marketing Designer
“ImageBank X has proven to be a highly effective and user-friendly tool for marketing support. The platform’s clear and simple structure makes managing and sharing images, for example with retailers, effortless and smooth. The three language options are a significant advantage for us, as we serve customers around the world. We appreciate how easy it is for users to find the material they need, which saves time and streamlines our daily work at Kesla and among our customers.”
