Canva Launches Its Own AI That Creates Images with Editable Layers

What happened

Canva has introduced Canva Craft, the first artificial intelligence model developed in-house by the company. The tool generates images in which the elements are separated into editable layers. This means you can tweak parts of the design without having to regenerate the whole thing.

Images have a resolution of up to 2K. There are more than 30 preset aspect ratios, and custom dimensions are also supported. The feature is already available worldwide.

What this means for your business

One of the biggest frustrations for anyone using AI to create designs is getting a "flattened" image. If one detail comes out wrong, the only option is to start over. With editable layers, AI becomes a starting point that you can adjust at your own pace.

A few tips to make the most of it:

• Generate the base and customize it: ask the AI for a composition, then apply your own colors, fonts and logo.
• Adapt to multiple formats: use the preset aspect ratios to create versions for feed, stories and ads from the same idea.
• Test creative variations: with quick editing, it's easier to produce different versions for A/B testing in paid campaigns.
• Keep your visual identity consistent: review each piece before publishing so your brand stays recognizable.

For small businesses without a full-time designer, this new feature can cut down production time. Even so, it's worth keeping a human eye on the final result.
