AI Quick Edit

AI Quick Edit brings image editing directly into Canto. Rather than downloading an asset, editing it externally, and re-uploading, users can now apply common visual transformations to images from within the DAM — without leaving the platform and without touching the original.

The editing panel opens from the asset preview and supports the following operations:

  • Remove Background — Replace the background with white, black, transparent, or a custom color.
  • Generate Fill — AI fills background areas with generated content, naturally reframing the foreground subject within a new background.
  • Smart Focus Crop — Automatically crops to the primary subject.
  • Resize — Adjust image dimensions for any channel or placement.
  • Add Overlay Text — Add text directly to an image with placement control.
  • Prompt-Based Editing — Describe any transformation in plain language and let the AI apply it.

Before saving, choose your output resolution: 1K for web and internal use, or 4K for print and large-format delivery. Edits can be saved as a new asset — leaving the original untouched — or as a new version of the original.

Please note:

AI Quick Edit is available on request and must be enabled for your account. Once activated, it is available to Admin users only. Contact your Customer Success Manager, Account Manager, or Implementation Manager to activate this feature.
