About Canva AI – 
Design used to be more complicated and often needed a qualified and experienced Graphic
Designer on board to support individual and business needs, but today, thanks to
Canva.com, a platform which is used by more than 150 million people worldwide, design for
non-designers is merely a few clicks away.
Canva launched an AI-powered image-generating app in 2022. Magic Media lets you
transform your words into one-of-a-kind images and videos at the touch of a button.Gone are the days of spending hours scrolling through stock images when you need
something specific or unique. Image generation apps unlock creativity in all sorts of ways
and empower all sorts of people, from content creators to marketers, professional designers,
and social media managers. Any profession that needs to produce content quickly, easily
and on a very small budget can easily conjure up engaging assets to help them stand out.Small business owners – who often double as their own marketing team among a million
other things – will especially find AI image and video generation to be a useful (and fun) time
saver that will help them shine. Artists, designers, and marketers can also use the apps to
test an idea quickly, without the need for expensive tooling.
Imagine, describe, and create in an instant.
