About Canva AI

Canva AI is the artificial intelligence suite embedded within Canva's design platform, used by over 170 million people. The AI tools include Magic Design (generate complete designs from a prompt or uploaded content), Magic Media (text-to-image and text-to-video generation), Magic Eraser (AI-powered object removal), Background Remover, and Magic Write (AI text generation for design content). What makes Canva AI unique is context: the AI features work within finished, production-ready design templates. You're not just generating images — you're creating social media posts, presentations, logos, and marketing materials with AI that understands the design context. Canva Pro ($15/month) unlocks the full AI feature set. The free tier includes limited AI credits.
