Interconnected and effortless

Canva offers a comprehensive image generation application that is linked throughout the Canva platform. With Text to Image, users have the capability to design and modify an image without the need for any outside subscriptions or applications. It is possible to take a concept from the initial idea and bring it to fruition within Canva, adjusting it to one's own liking and then sharing it globally. This function can be utilized throughout the entire design process with Text to Image.

You can take your new photos to the next level using Text to Image's in-built photo editor to adjust brightness, contrast, and filters. Combine text with eye-catching font combinations to make your pictures stand out even more. You can crop, resize, or flip your images, and add frames, stickers, vectors, icons, and illustrations to really make the design pop. Plus, you can animate your design and share it with the world.

Our dedication to the advancement of our Text to Image app has led us to make improvements to the accuracy and quality of images, giving your designs a more visually appealing look. Additionally, we've recently added the image variation feature, which creates a picture that is similar in look and composition to the one produced by Text to Image.

Your photos are distinct and special just like you

Text to Image can now produce artwork in a larger array of styles, from photographs to sketches, paintings, 3D, patterns, neon, and conceptual art. Make a realistic depiction with the 3D style for your forward-thinking celebration invite, or pick the painting style to reproduce textured brushstrokes.

Technology that is secure, accountable, and adheres to ethical standards

Innovation has and continues to be a major factor in the world we live in, changing industries and creating new possibilities. Along with those opportunities comes the challenge to develop our technology, so it serves our community in the most effective manner. We are dedicated to acquiring knowledge and utilizing our magic tools and features for the benefit of everyone.

We take great pride in upholding moral standards, which is evident in the way we construct our products, operate our business and collaborate with our community. As one of our fundamental principles, we consider being a positive force to be of utmost importance. This is why our Trust and Safety team is devoted to making sure everyone feels secure while creating and interacting with content on our platform.

We have devoted considerable resources to safety measures that aid the millions of people using our platform in being 'good humans' and limiting the chances of our platform producing inappropriate content. For example, Magic Media has automated reviews of input prompts to check for words that could generate dangerous imagery, as well as evaluations of output images for categories such as adult content, hate, and abuse. Furthermore, we've created a feedback loop to give our community the ability to report any problems with the generated images, including if they think they are reinforcing biases or stereotypes.

We have partnered with renowned companies such as Google Cloud and OpenAI, to bring their highly-rated third-party applications into Canva, making AI technology accessible to all. These apps have put in protective measures to guarantee the accuracy of their image-creation results and to make sure that their AI models adhere to fairness and ethical standards.

We have collated this resource to respond to conversations about generated images and copyright. We understand that our exploration in this area will never be finished, but we aim to share our discoveries and knowledge to enable secure, just, and responsible technology.

We are dedicated to providing empowering design solutions to the world and understand the significance of developing responsibly. We are excited to share our progress in bringing even more magic to our global community.
