Canva Unveils New AI-Powered Design Suite
Canva recently celebrated its 10th birthday by unveiling an exciting new suite of AI-powered design tools called Magic Studio. This latest release aims to make content creation accessible to all users, regardless of previous design experience.
Magic Studio provides a comprehensive set of intelligent tools to automate tedious design tasks. For example, Magic Switch allows users to instantly convert a design from a blog to an email or social post without manually changing the layout. It can even automatically translate designs into 100+ languages.
Another neat feature is the new text-to-video tool using Runway AI. Simply type a text prompt and Canva will generate a short video for you to use. There are also improved text-to-image capabilities with more style options. And you can access other leading AI apps like DALL-E and Imagen right within Canva.
For photo editing, Magic Grab lets you easily select, edit, and move subjects in images. Magic Expand can expand the image beyond its original frame. Overall, if there’s a design task you dislike doing, Canva likely has a “Magic” tool to help.
In addition to the new creative features, Canva also launched Canva Shield. This provides safety and security controls like AI indemnification for enterprise users. It gives admins oversight on how the AI tools are enabled in their organization.
Canva is also compensating creators who consent to having their designs used for training its AI models. They are allocating $200 million over three years for this new Creator Compensation Program. Those who opt in will receive bonuses and ongoing monthly payments.
With its simple yet powerful design platform, Canva already has over 150 million users worldwide. This new AI-powered suite cements its position as a formidable rival to Adobe. While Adobe has added some AI capabilities, Canva’s focus on smart templates and automation gives it an edge.
For anyone looking to create stunning designs without needing extensive technical skills, Canva’s Magic Studio is a game changer. The AI assistance will help produce high-quality content in a fraction of the time.
