Canva Magic Studio
Suite of AI tools built into Canva — Magic Design, Magic Write, Magic Media, background remover, and more — for generating and editing designs without leaving the editor.
About Canva Magic Studio
Magic Studio is the umbrella name for Canva's AI features, woven into the editor you may already use for everyday design: Magic Design suggests full layouts from a prompt or uploaded image, Magic Write drafts on-design text copy, Magic Media generates images and short video clips from text, and Magic Eraser/Background Remover handle common photo-editing tasks instantly. Because it's built into Canva, these tools work directly on real templates and designs rather than as a separate generation step you then have to import — useful for social posts, presentations, and marketing materials made in the same place. The free Canva plan includes a starting allowance of Magic Studio uses across these tools; Canva Pro (from around $15/mo) raises those limits substantially and unlocks additional AI features like Magic Switch (reformatting a design across different sizes/types). Generated images and videos are good for everyday content but generally trail dedicated specialist tools like Midjourney or Firefly in raw output quality, and some Magic Studio features remain capped even on Pro.
