How to use Canva
Pick a template or start blank, then drag in elements and let the AI generate layouts from a prompt or uploaded assets. Use the AI writer for copy, the image generator for visuals, and the editing tools for photo work, and apply your brand kit across AI outputs on the paid plan. Premium AI video is billed per use on top of the plan.
