Frequently asked questions

How does Sirv's search compare to Canto?

Both offer smart search. Sirv uses Meilisearch for sub-50ms results with typo tolerance, searching across filenames, alt text, tags, and custom metadata. Canto offers facial recognition and AI auto-tagging for discovery. Sirv's edge: instant search speed and 20+ AI processing tools to act on what you find.

Can I create sharing portals like Canto?

Sirv offers password-protected share links with configurable expiration, download controls, and view tracking. Canto's portals are more customizable with branded storefronts. For most product-content teams, Sirv's share links cover the external sharing need while keeping AI processing, review, and Shopify operations in the same workspace.
