Canva AI
Canva's conversational AI and AI tools for creating and editing designs, images, video, text and code.
Canva AI is Canva's conversational AI: you describe a design by text or voice and refine it by chat or by hand, alongside tools such as Magic Layers, Magic Write and Resize. Canva Free includes up to 20 Standard or Premium AI uses, and Pro and Business offer a free trial.
About Canva AI
Canva AI, launched in its 2.0 form at Canva Create 2026, works alongside you in the editor: you describe what you want by text or voice, and it creates designs such as presentations and social posts, images, text and code, which you refine by chatting or by editing yourself. It can pull context from connected tools, apply your brand's fonts, colours and rules, run web research, learn your style through a Memory Library and run tasks on a schedule, up to 10 at a time.
The Canva AI page says the tools you already love are still here: Magic Layers, which turns AI designs into editable layouts, AI-powered elements and templates, Canva Code, Style Match, a 3D content generator, a video generator, an AI-powered photo editor, on-brand design generation, shape and photo generators, Magic Background, Resize for formats, languages and dimensions, Magic Write and interactive activities.
AI use draws on a monthly allowance. On paid plans other than Pro Lite, Standard tools such as Translate and Magic Write don't count against it; Premium tools, including Magic Layers and design, image and element generation, and Ultra tools, including conversational design with Canva AI 2.0 and video clips, share it. Canva Free gets up to 20 uses of Standard or Premium tools and no Ultra tools, Pro, Teams and Nonprofits up to 200 Premium or 20 Ultra uses, and Business up to 400 or 40.
Billed yearly, Pro is 12,000 RSD a year for one person and Business 21,000 RSD a year per person; billed monthly they cost 1,500 RSD and 2,100 RSD a month, and Enterprise is priced through sales. Pro and Business offer a free trial and an AI Pass add-on at extra cost. Canva AI works in the browser and in Canva's apps, which Canva offers for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, and its help tells mobile users who can't find a feature to update the app.

Canva AI pros and cons
Pros
- Each member of a Teams, Business, Nonprofits, Education or Enterprise account gets their own AI allowance rather than a shared team pool.
- Canva says it does not use your content to improve AI-powered features unless that is consistent with your privacy controls, and Business and Enterprise add admin controls over Canva AI.
- K-12 educational organizations and not-for-profits can get most premium features for free.
- Canva AI can also create designs inside AI assistants connected to Canva, such as ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot, from the same allowance.
Cons
- Canva Free has no access to Ultra AI tools, so conversational design with Canva AI 2.0 and AI video clips need a paid plan; the Pro and Business trials don't include them either.
- Ultra AI tools use the most allowance, and once you reach the limit they stay unavailable until the allowance resets.
- Canva warns that AI-created works may not get copyright protection where you live and that others can get similar results with similar prompts.
- On Enterprise, Canva AI 2.0 and Canva AI connectors are marked 'Soon' on the pricing page.
