Canto DAM - September 2026 Updated September 16, 2026 10:34 ~ minute read Alt-Text Canto now includes a native alt-text field for image assets. Users can add descriptive alternative text directly in the DAM, giving teams a consistent place to store and manage accessibility descriptions alongside the asset itself — so content stays accessible wherever it's published.Canto Administrators can mark the field as required in upload workflows and Upload Links, ensuring descriptions are captured before assets are distributed. Alt-text also renders as the HTML alt attribute on assets embedded in Portals and Share Links, and is accessible via the Canto API. Please note: Alt-text is available to all customers at no additional cost, is on by default, and is supported for image assets only. For more information, please visit the article "Alt-Text" in our Help Center.
