Summary  
Integration of modular AI functionalities into an existing editor by exposing them through an apps panel and context-sensitive floating controls, with AI-generated outputs landing as native, editable elements in the workspace.

General domain of usage  
Graphic design

Canva bundles a set of AI features directly into its editor, so you do not need a separate app to generate an image, rewrite a caption, or remove a background. These tools sit inside the same workspace you already use for templates, text, and layouts.


**Canva AI** is the collective name for Canva's generative and assistive features — including Magic Media, Magic Write, Magic Edit, Magic Eraser, Magic Design, and Magic Switch — built into the Canva editor and mobile app.

Definition

Most AI tools live in two places: the **Apps panel** on the left sidebar, and a floating **Magic Studio** button that appears when you select an element on the canvas. Free accounts get a limited number of AI credits per month; Canva Pro includes a much larger allowance.

To reach the AI tools:

- Open any design, or start a blank one;
- Click **Apps** in the left sidebar and scroll to the **AI** section;
- Or select an image, text box, or the whole page and look for the **Magic Studio** icon that pops up above your selection.

AI credits reset monthly and are separate from your storage or export limits. Running out of credits does not affect any other Canva feature.

Note



Every AI tool in Canva works on top of a normal design, so anything it produces — an image, a paragraph, a resized layout — lands as an editable element you can move, restyle, or delete like any other object on the page.

Discover how Canva's built-in AI tools speed up everyday design work. Generate images from text, rewrite and summarize copy with Magic Write, remove backgrounds and objects in one click, resize a design for every platform, and turn a rough idea into a full presentation or video. Build practical skills for social posts, decks, and marketing visuals without touching a design tool from scratch.
