About Canva AI
Canva AI is the generative layer inside Canva's design platform, packaged under the Magic Studio brand. It includes Magic Write for drafting text, Magic Design for generating full editable templates from a prompt or uploaded image, Magic Media for text-to-image and text-to-video, Magic Edit and Magic Eraser for object editing, Magic Switch for converting designs to other formats and languages, and Magic Animate for one-click motion. Brand Hub keeps generated output on-brand by enforcing fonts, colors and logos. Canva integrates third-party AI tools through its Apps marketplace, including DALL-E, Imagen, Mojo and the Leonardo.ai models, which Canva owns after acquiring Leonardo in 2024. The tools are aimed at marketers, small businesses, educators, students and creators who want professional-looking design without a steep learning curve.
