Canva Magic Studio

“All the power of AI, all in one place. Magic Studio™ brings together the best AI-powered tools for you and your team, right inside Canva.”

This is how Canva announced their new AI addition to the platform. The new Magic Studio provides all kinds of design-related tools in one place so you don’t need to toggle between multiple apps.

The main focus of the announcement was to make sophisticated graphic design more accessible. It aims to empower anyone to create visual content by simplifying the design process. Things that used to require complex skills can now be done in just a few clicks.

“Design tool for everyone”

Here are some of the new features available with Magic Studio:

• Magic Media: Create visual media with text prompts.

• Magic Design: Get AI-generated designs from ideas.

• Magic Switch: Translate and convert content.

• Magic Expand: Enlarge images with AI.

• Magic Edit: Edit images via text.

• Magic Morph: Morph visual elements.

• Magic Write: Generate text with AI.

Canva has partnered with RunwayML to bring text-to-video and image-to-video capabilities into the Canva platform. This integration allows users to generate short animated videos by entering text prompts or uploading images.

The direct integration with RunwayML gives Canva users straightforward access to powerful video animation creation through AI. It enables anyone to produce dynamic video content as part of their graphic designs, without needing expertise in animation or video editing.
