Usage & termsShared AI use varies by taskCheck rollout status and stock licences
Free accounts may receive up to 20 standard or premium AI uses; higher plan allowances have fair-use limits and vary by tool.
Magic Layers is in beta/rollout. Stock photos, fonts, and other library items retain their own licences separate from AI output.
Generate visual elements inside the design
Magic Media creates images and graphics from a description, with visual styles and layout choices. It supports an image reference and a “more like this” option, and selected results drop directly into the design.
The artwork remains part of an editable composition with separate text and other design elements. This is useful for launch graphics that need a readable title, quotation, or publication date alongside the picture.
Recover editable layers from a flat image
Magic Layers turns a supplied flat design into elements that can be selected, moved, and edited. It accepts designs made outside Canva as well as Canva-generated art, opening a route to adjust text or layout after the initial image exists.
The feature is in beta, works best with JPEG or PNG input, and counts toward the plan’s shared premium AI allowance.
Branding, motion, and export
-
Carry an author identity across launch materials
-
Brand Kits keep colors, logos, and fonts available within the editor. Paid plans add more brand kits and tools for resizing designs, so related promotional assets can reuse the same visual identity.
-
Put motion and words around the artwork
-
Canva includes video generation, animation, image editing, and Magic Write alongside its design tools. These support short launch clips and promotional copy in the same workspace as static graphics.
-
Download for the intended destination
-
Canva offers image, document, and video download formats. Paid accounts add controls such as transparent PNGs, SVGs, and CMYK color profiles; the appropriate export matters when artwork moves from a social post to a print design.
-
Keep generated output and stock licences distinct
-
Canva permits lawful use of AI output under its AI terms, but library photos, fonts, and other licensed content keep their separate licences. Owning a design as a whole does not transfer ownership of each stock element or guarantee rights in generated artwork.
