Canva Unleashes the Magic of AI with its Next-Level Features

Canva has recently joined the AI tool trend, following Adobe's announcement of Adobe Firefly just a couple of days ago. At the #CanvaCreate2023 event, Canva showcased a variety of new features for their “all-in-one creation tool” that bring an extra layer of magic to the Canva Visual Suite, prioritizing speed and creative inspiration. These latest features harmonize with Canva's identity, which seeks to streamline the design process and advance its capabilities in every aspect. Furthermore, all these functions will be directly integrated into the platform, making it even more effortless for Canva users to generate stunning designs rapidly and effectively.

Do you want to know about the main new features and changes coming to the platform? Just take a look at the following list with some of the best features we have summarized for you:

• Magic Design: If you're struggling to visualize your ideal design or find the perfect template, Magic Design is the answer. You simply upload an image and choose a style to create fully customizable templates. Sounds a solid competitor to the new Microsoft Designer right?

• Draw your ideas: This feature allows users to create a digital whiteboard and sketch out your ideas. Canva's intelligent technology recognizes your drawings and smooths out the shapes. It's a great alternative to other tools like FigJam.

• Translate: translate designs into over 100 languages with just one click, without the need to switch separate tool or program.

• Magic Eraser and Magic Editing: remove unwanted distractions and add or swap elements in photos. This is a great alternative to apps like remove.bg for anyone who wants to streamline their workflow and save time.

• Sync to Beat: This feature brings to mind apps such as CapCut, where users can synchronize their footage with the rhythm of their soundtrack.

• Magic Presentation Generator: generate a first draft of a presentation with an outline, multiple slides, and content from just a few words. Then you can edit and personalize your design from there.

• Magic Text and Text to Image: This both text and image creation features were already available since last year, but now it's available throughout the Visual Worksuite and in 18 languages, and the image resolution has been increased 16 times while reducing generation speed by around 68%.

• Create an Animation: Draw the path you want an animation to add motion and visual interest to your design.

In addition, Canva also introduced Brand Hub, a Brand Kit dashboard which centralizes all aspects of a brand within the Canva editor to facilitate quick creation of brand-aligned designs. Similar to services like Brandfolder or Bynder, in Brand Hub you can find and manage all your team's brand kits, templates, logos, colors, and fonts in one place. This makes your team's creative assets available for everyone to use.

As you can see, Canva is shaping up as a really good alternative to multiple established services and becoming the ultimate all-in-one design tool. As technology and AI-powered services continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how these companies will shape the future of design and creativity.
