Get started with Canva AI

We launched Canva AI 2.0 with new ways to create designs through conversation. Built across Canva’s Visual Suite, it moves beyond one-off prompts and static generations, instead giving you a built-in creative partner that works alongside you in the editor from first idea to final design.

Canva AI 2.0 features, including Memory Library and Connectors, are available with:

• Canva Pro
• Canva Teams
• Canva Business
• Canva Nonprofit
• Canva Enterprise

Canva AI helps you create and edit designs, images and videos, and brainstorm ideas with ease.

You can also use it to:

• Create designs like presentations and social posts
• Generate images, text, and code
• Edit and refine content

You can create and edit your designs by chatting with Canva AI in the editor. Ask it to change elements, refine your whole design, or keep everything on brand.

With Canva AI 2.0, you can:

• Refine designs and content
• Make updates without starting over
• Use Memory Library to personalize results
• Use Web Research for richer, up-to-date information

How you create content depends on your Canva AI experience.

Canva AI lets you choose between two models when generating designs. In the Canva Brush experience, all requests use Canva Brush, a model trained at Canva. In the Canva Core experience, some designs you generate may use a different model.

Editing requests always use Canva Brush, regardless of which option you choose.
