Writing with Magic Write

Magic Write drafts, rewrites, or extends text directly inside a text box, so you do not have to leave Canva to fix a slow caption or a stiff headline.

To open it:

• Click into any text box;
• Select the text you want to change, or place your cursor where new text should appear;
• Click the Magic Write icon in the floating toolbar;
• Choose an action such as Continue writing, Shorten, Expand, Fix spelling and grammar, or Change tone;
• Review the suggestion, then Insert it or ask for another version.

Magic Write also has a standalone mode: open Apps → Magic Write, type a topic or a rough sentence, and it drafts a full paragraph you can drag onto the canvas. This is a faster starting point than a blank text box when you are writing a caption, a slide's body text, or a short product description.
