About Canva AI
Canva is the world's most popular AI-powered graphic design platform, used by individuals, marketers and enterprises to create social media graphics, presentations, videos, docs and e-commerce creatives. Its AI layer is bundled under Magic Studio — covering everything from one-click background removal to conversational design and text-to-video generation — with a shared monthly AI allowance across four tiers: Free, Pro, Business and Enterprise. Canva acquired professional design suite Affinity in 2024 and made its base software free in 2026.
