AI Image Generator: How Canva is revolutionizing the design world with AI

Contents

introduction

The world of design used to be complicated and demanding. But today, more than 150 million people use Canva every month to unleash their creativity and achieve their goals. Canva's mission has always been to make complex things simple. Leveraging exciting new opportunities to help our community bring their ideas and imaginations to life is key. An outstanding component of this is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in image generation. With Canva's AI image generator, the perfect image is always just a click away - even if it doesn't exist yet. In 2022, we launched our own AI-powered image generation app in Canva. With Magic Media's AI image generator, your words will be transformed into stunning, unique images - and now videos.

Magic Media's AI image generator not only allows you to create visual content faster than ever before, but also marks the end of creative block. Canva now offers three image generation apps to turn your imagination into reality: Magic Media's Text to Image, DALL*E by OpenAI, and Imagen by Google Cloud.

In less than a year since launching Magic Media's Text to Image, we have been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response from our community. Nearly 290 million images have been created and used for a variety of practical use cases, from social media posts to presentations, corporate flyers and even logos. If you can't find the right image, you now have even more options to bring your ideas to life with access to the best AI image generation apps in Canva.

Transforming imagination into creative images

Imagine not being able to find the perfect picture. Instead of searching for pre-existing images, our AI image generation apps help you achieve the exact visual result you need. Whether it's practical descriptions or whimsical concepts, Magic Media's Text to Image, DALL*E and Imagen from Google Cloud can all generate unique images with just one click.

For example, would you like to see a black and white illustration of a person baking a cake or a watercolor fox in the forest? Our AI image generators bring your imagination to life and offer options for use in your designs, from websites to presentations to social media posts. The days of spending hours searching for stock images when you need something specific or unique are a thing of the past. Image generation apps enable creativity in many ways and empower people from all walks of life, from content creators to marketers and professional designers to social media managers. Any profession that needs to produce content quickly can easily create engaging assets to stand out from the crowd.

Especially for small business owners, who often act as their own marketing team, AI image and video generation can be a useful (and fun) time saver to help them promote themselves. Artists, designers and art students can also use the apps to quickly test an idea without the need for expensive tools.

Integrated and seamless

Canva's image generation apps are seamlessly integrated into the entire Canva experience. You can create and edit an image without ever leaving Canva. No additional subscriptions or tools are required to support your creative workflow. From developing initial concepts to creating new assets for each design, editing in your own way and sharing with the world, these apps can be used at any time to advance your projects.

Enhance your new photos with Canva's built-in photo editor: adjust brightness, adjust contrast or experiment with filters. Add text with eye-catching font combinations to add captions to your unique images. Crop images, change the size, or mirror them, and combine them with other graphic elements like Frame, stickers, vectors, Icons and illustrations. Make it dynamic with our animation options and share it with the world in any design.

We are committed to continuing to improve the capabilities of Magic Media's Text to Image. As part of this, we've made improvements in image accuracy and quality, giving your designs more visual expressiveness than ever before. We also recently added an image variation feature that allows you to generate a new image that has a similar look and composition to an image generated by Magic Media's Text to Image.

Magic Media can now generate art in an even wider range of styles than before, including photos, drawings, paintings, 3D, neon and concept art. With Canva's AI image generator, you have the opportunity to take your designs to the next level and bring your creative visions to life. Unleash your imagination and create unique visual content that will impress your target audience.
