AI-powered design suite with Magic Design, text-to-image, and one-click design generation inside Canva.
Canva was already the go-to design tool for non-designers, and the AI features make it even more powerful. Magic Design lets you describe what you want — a social media post, presentation, or flyer — and Canva generates complete layouts you can customize. It's not just generating images; it's generating entire designed compositions.
The AI-powered background remover, image resizer, and Magic Eraser save hours of manual editing. For small businesses and marketers who can't justify hiring a designer, Canva AI is genuinely transformative.
The AI-generated images aren't as refined as Midjourney or DALL-E 3. Magic Design templates, while convenient, can produce similar-looking outputs. And the most powerful features (Brand Kit, Magic Resize, premium templates) require the Pro subscription at $13/month.
Small business owners, social media managers, marketers, and anyone who needs professional-looking designs without design skills. If you already use Canva, the AI features are a natural upgrade. If you need the highest quality AI-generated images specifically, Midjourney is better.
