Canva
Design graphics with drag-and-drop templates and Magic Studio AI tools.
Free plan; Pro around $15/mo including Magic Studio AI.
What Canva’s AI does
Canva is a popular design platform, and its Magic Studio brings a suite of AI tools into the familiar drag-and-drop editor. In the design category, Canva stands out for making generative features approachable: Magic Media turns text prompts into images and short clips, Magic Write drafts captions and copy, and Magic Design assembles full layouts from a prompt or an uploaded photo. These tools sit alongside the templates and elements Canva is known for.
The result is a workspace where you can go from a rough idea to a finished graphic without leaving one editor or needing prior design experience.
Getting the most from it
The AI features shine when combined with Canva’s editing basics. You can generate an image, drop it into a template, remove or erase a background in a click, and use Magic Switch to reformat the same design for different platforms. Magic Write helps fill in text so a layout comes together quickly. Many tools are usable on the free plan with limits, while Canva Pro raises AI credits and unlocks the full Magic Studio set, making it better suited to regular, higher-volume design work.
