AI design helpers built into Canva's editor for text, images and layout
Canva Magic is the AI layer inside Canva, the browser design tool used by millions for social posts, presentations and print. Rather than a separate product, it adds generation to the editor you already use: Magic Write drafts copy, Magic Media creates images and short video from a prompt, Magic Edit replaces objects inside a photo, and Magic Design turns a brief into a laid-out template you can adjust by hand. The advantage is the surrounding machinery - brand kits, resize, team libraries, export presets - so generated material lands in a finished design instead of a folder. It is aimed at marketers and small teams rather than illustrators needing fine control.

Partly. The free plan includes a monthly allotment of Magic credits for the generation features, so you can try them at no cost. Pro and Teams plans increase the allowance and unlock brand controls and premium assets.
Yes, and that is the point. Everything Magic creates arrives as ordinary editable layers, text boxes and images on the canvas, so you can restyle, crop or rewrite it like any other Canva element.
For flyers, posters and social graphics it is usually fine, with export presets for print sizes. For high-resolution commercial photography or complex illustration, a dedicated generator or a designer will still do better.
