Canva, a popular graphic design platform, has introduced powerful AI tools to help users create designs, content, and media more easily and efficiently. Even if you’re not a designer or developer, Canva’s AI features can assist in turning your ideas into visual content with minimal effort. These tools are built to automate repetitive tasks and boost creativity across various formats like images, documents, videos, and even code.

Design for Me

Canva’s “Design for me” feature allows you to describe what you want, and the AI will generate a design template for you. Whether it’s a flyer, poster, or presentation, this tool simplifies the design process, especially for beginners.

Create an Image

With Canva’s AI-powered image generator, you can turn text into visuals. Just type what you want to see, like “a dog playing guitar,” and the AI creates a custom image matching your prompt—ideal for creative and marketing projects.

Draft a Document

The “Draft a document” tool helps you generate written content quickly. You simply input a topic or prompt, and Canva’s AI writes structured content such as blog posts, proposals, or even social media captions.

Code for Me

This tool allows users to describe what they want in plain language, and Canva AI translates it into working code snippets. It’s useful for beginners who want to embed custom widgets or work with HTML/CSS inside Canva projects.

Create a Video Clip

Canva’s video AI tool enables users to generate video clips from text prompts or templates. The tool suggests scenes, adds transitions, and even includes music, making video creation effortless for non-editors.

Limitation: Right now the tool creates only 8 sec video clips and only 16:9 ratio.

Example

Let’s create a comic video using Canva AI tool:
