We all know that AI is here to stay – and much more than just a gimmick – which is why we have brought all the information that you should know about Canva AI. In this blog, Vantage will discuss the future of Canva AI, its ability to create AI-generated images, steps to use Canva AI Magic Write Tool, its limits and benefits of Canva AI Blog.
So, let us dive right in!
What is Canva?
Canva is an easy-to-use platform for creating professional designs – and their library of templates and tools make it easy for anyone to create beautiful visuals. Whether you are starting a new business and need some branding materials, or need to create a professional looking presentation for your next meeting, Canva is there for you.
How does Canva work?
The AI component of Canva AI scans millions of pages of existing internet content. It then selects elements from each of these sources to create a piece of written content or an AI-generated image.
The intelligence of the software is able to identify relevant material for unique content creation. With Canva AI, you have the power of a graphic designer, artist, copywriter and content writer, all under one roof.
The future of Canva AI
Canva AI could analyze user preferences and past designs to offer personalized design recommendations, helping users create designs more efficiently. Canva AI may further automate repetitive design tasks, such as resizing designs for different platforms or suggesting layout options based on content.
Future developments may focus on enhancing real-time collaboration features, allowing multiple users to work on the same design simultaneously with AI-powered suggestions for collaboration.
How many users does Canva have?
Canva has over 100 million monthly active users, which is pretty impressive, given that it has been around since 2013. The platform continues to grow and expand its customer base, and with 100+ languages available, it is also an incredibly inclusive piece of visual communication software.
How to create Canva AI-generated images?
The process for using the Canva AI text to image is incredibly user-friendly. It will first ask you what you want the image for – instagram post, presentation, poster or others. This enables the software to create an image with the correct size, format and positioning that is required for the specific content you need.
Simply type the description of the image you would like to create and let Canva AI generate a selection of images for you to cherry-pick from.
The best part is, if you are unhappy with the first round of images, you can ask Canav AI to create them again, or perhaps, you can rephrase the prompt with specific details and features you want to highlight in your image. Once you find the one you like the looks of, simply click it and add it to your project.
Canva AI tools for creating images
You can then use the tools on the left-hand bar to add text around the image, draw on it, add in stickers, shapes, charts or frames, literally whatever else you need to make it original and achieve the desired image that you have in mind.
The best way to Canva-AI generated images is to jump straight in and play around with the tools until you feel comfortable using them.
Canva AI image generator limit
You can create up to 100 AI-generated images per day using the free version of Canva AI. It is also worth noting that some of the editing tools like certain pictures or stickers may only be available through the premium version.
How to use Canva AI tools to enhance your designs?
In this section, we are going to talk about how Canva AI can help enhance your designs making a long-lasting impact on the viewers.
Magic media
When we have to use an image, we usually know what kind or type of picture will satisfy our needs. Keeping this in mind, we visit online image galleries or begin our search. If we are lucky, we will find an image that likely matches our imagination.
However, as many websites or professionals use these platforms, having a stock image in a project seems dull. Also, we often do not go for the image that comes first. So, in that case, we either refine our search or start scrolling. Once we start strolling, we keep scrolling until we find the perfect image. But nothing is perfect and our search for the matching image continues.
All you need to do is write a prompt with context in the text to the image field, and Magic Media will generate your image in no time.
New Feature
Magic Media now lets you generate video from text as well. You need to describe the scene and this AI tool will generate a few seconds of video. Isn’t it cool? It totally is!
Magic Write
Almost every creative work requires content; however, what is annoying is visiting the application or website or the doc where the content is written. You create something, and visiting the content file becomes a long process that can affect the creative work.
In Canva, people mostly use pre-built templates that have content. You cannot use that content, and to write something new takes time. Now Canva also offers a solution to this problem, which is Magic Write.
Now, while creating a creative, you can use AI-generated content without needing to use the demo content of those template files. Select the text and the Magic Write option will arrive, providing you with different content generation options. You can also check spelling to make your content error-free.
Magic Switch
Designers often struggle with moving and resizing objects after changing the dimensions of designs. It is a very tedious task changing from Instagram post size to instagram story size manually.
Magic Switch takes away this annoyance, automatically resizing each element in your design and making it paintless to expand one piece of content into a multichannel campaign.
With the help of Magic Switch you can turn a presentation into a series of Instagram posts, convert a YouTube thumbnail into a Facebook ad and turn a blog post into an Instagram Reel.
Magic Switch also gives you the ability to auto-translate into new languages – from English – language blog posts to Spanish-language TikTok videos – and you have got a seriously productive multichannel marketing tool.
Magic Expand
Magic Expand uses AI to extend the borders of your image. It is a useful feature, but because of its uneven quality, it requires tinkering to get good results. It is particularly well-suited to extending landscapes, rather than complex backgrounds.
Magic Expand often compensated for its lack of certainty by making the expanded background blurry. This turns out to be okay sometimes, but the blurriness is often noticeable enough that you won’t want to use the expanded image. You will also want to be cautious also about expanding areas of your photo that have faces and hands, since those tend to come out warped.
Magic Morphe
Magic Morphe allows you to use AI text prompts to transform your design’s text, elements and shapes. For marketing assets like social media graphics, banners and flyers, this opens the door to unique imagery and creative approaches.
Canva is the best tool for non-designers to create professional designers. Although Magic Morphe is fun to play with, it takes users in the other direction; it is easy to generate tacky designs that are not particularly cohesive. Sticking to the example prompts, or variations of them, tends to produce the nicest-looking results.
Beat Sync
When you watch well-produced Instagram reels or TikTok videos with audio, you will notice that visuals tend to correspond with the beats. Why? This is because viewers are more likely to stay engaged when the visuals match the beat.
Here is the problem: syncing the beat is a tedious process. It involves manually tweaking the timing of multiple audio and video clips over and over again. Beat sync uses AI to take the pain out of this process while producing a professionally polished end product. With this feature, even amateur creators can ‘harmonize’ their videos in seconds.
In conclusion
Using these Canva AI tools, it will be easier for you to create art that might need more skilful training. It will be easier for you to apply designing techniques you did not know before. It will be easier for you to make your imagination alive. That is what is most important when people go for their own design.
With the help of 3rd party AI tools, you will save time; no need to visit those platforms you already use. You can access them directly from Canva.
Overall, your experience using Canva AI tools will make you more confident regarding your design projects. When you are optimistic, things will become outstanding. That is why it is recommended that you try these tools and become involuntary every time you think of something creative.
