AI is more than just a copywriting assistant. Canva Magic Studio has combined the power of AI with its easy-to-use design interface, creating the best suite of AI design tools for bloggers.
Many people on our WhatsApp and Telegram channels have
inquired about Canva AI design tools. So, we thought of providing you with
complete information about Canva AI design tools or Canva Magic Studio.
It doesn't matter what you think or feel about AI because it
is the reality of our present world, whether you embrace it or not.
Regarding incorporating AI into their blogging strategy, we
understand the bloggers' reactions to it very well.
To be honest, we were a bit hesitant about it too, but we
are building a connection with our readers by expressing our viewpoint.
However, AI-created copy is just a small part of the available resources to
grow your blog.
Canva recently launched a new suite of design tools that is
entirely AI-centric and is called Canva Magic Studio.
It might be possible that, because we have a deep affection for Canva, we may be a bit biased about it. However, we believe that every blogger in every niche can benefit from these incredible AI design tools.
When providing you information about the new Canva Magic
Studio tools, we want you to carefully read this article and keep an open mind.
Canva is relatively new in the realm of visuals, so it will
require back-end tweaks for improvement. Especially Magic Morph, but we will
discuss that later.
If you are using Canva for the first time or have a free
Canva account, let us inform you that in this article, we will be talking about
10 Canva Magic Studio tools. Among them, only 3 Magic Studio tools are
available for users with a free Canva account. If you want to use the other 7 Canva Magic Studio tools, you will need to subscribe to Canva Pro.
Subscribing to Canva Pro is indeed a worthwhile deal as it is available for only $14.99/month or $119/year, which is budget-friendly.

MAGIC DESIGN (FREE)
By using Canva's Magic Design, you can transform your ideas
into visuals quickly. Magic Design enables you to rapidly create graphics and
videos by utilizing simple written prompts provided by you.
For this, you just need to give Canva Magic Design some
keywords, such as "Instagram post for skincare" or something more
complex like "Instagram story to promote skincare giveaway," etc.
You can enhance your Magic Design further by applying applicable filters and adding your own media, such as photos and videos, giving it a completely branded look. Additionally, by applying your brand kit, you can take your Magic Design a step further.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC DESIGN
Currently, Canva's Magic Design has been highlighted as a
new and improved feature. It includes some other Canva Magic tools as well,
and you can incorporate this new AI feature into your creations like salt in
your meal.
We hope that this feature will apply the most popular style
of templates to the terms you search for. Unfortunately, in most cases, this is
not often the reality.
Instead, we often encounter poorly designed templates that
require extensive editing to make them look distinct. If your niche is highly
popular, such as travel or fashion, you need to search for decent templates
that can work well with your content.
If you prefer designing from scratch, you can use the Canva Magic Design feature for inspiration.
MAGIC SWITCH (PRO)
Magic Switch incorporates a handful of excellent Magic tools in a dropdown. With its help, you can instantly resize any design, previously known as Magic Resize. Additionally, you can translate the text in your design into other languages, and even re-format your content into a summary, blog post, and much more.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC SWITCH
If you are a blogger, you will likely find Magic Switch
quite appealing, as a blogger, we have found Canva Magic Switch to be quite
useful.
If the majority of your audience on your blog or channel is
bilingual, we highly encourage you to use "Translate" for your
designs. Additionally, for better inclusivity, make sure to translate all your
graphics and even your digital products such as workbooks, cheatsheets, etc.
If you have a branding guide for more than one page, you can
transform your branding guide into a summary, blog post, and email. Wherein,
you can reuse the summary in your social media and email content.
You can use your blog posts as a baseline, creating repurposed content for other areas of your blog.
Canva's Magic Switch feature works exceptionally well for email transformation. You might not believe it until you experience it, as it effortlessly transforms a guide of more than one page into an email with a perfect length and beautiful flow. Besides, it adds a boost to our five-minute brand at the end, making it really cool.
MAGIC GRAB (PRO)
If you have photos with objects that make them challenging
to use, Canva Magic Grab can be highly beneficial for you.
This is because Canva's Magic Grab converts your entire
photos into a fully editable design. With this tool, you can easily edit, reposition,
or resize all subjects in your photo, such as people and objects.
The best part is that it applies well to text as well, which
is done using its "Grab Text" feature. This is most useful for
graphics that include text (like billboards or street signs) and that are not
created in Canva. Or for designs for which the original design is currently not
available to you.
Regarding stock images, you should check the Terms of Service (TOS) before making any customizations. Some stock photo companies, including those with memberships, prohibit any alterations to their photos in any way.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC GRAB
We believe that all bloggers will appreciate this tool for
its versatility, especially for YouTube thumbnails and product mockups.
It's essential to remember that if there is a significant
contrast between the background and objects in your photos, it works
exceptionally well.
We tested it on a product mockup image with a black mug and
iPad on a white background with light-colored fabric, and it worked wonders as
it accurately grabbed parts of the fabric.
If your photo has multiple subjects, such as a pair of shoes, a sweatshirt, and jeans, Canva's Magic Grab will group them together as one grab. Performing this task is not a big deal; you just need to take a few extra steps to customize your graphic.
MAGIC EXPAND (PRO)
Most Canva users have likely attempted to fit the perfect horizontal photo into a vertical placement at some point, and
conversely, you may not have gained any special benefit from it.
However, now with Canva's Magic Expand, it entirely depends
on your photo. Thanks to AI, we can magically expand both horizontal and
vertical photos beyond the borders.
Canva's Magic Expand feature is especially useful for those
peculiar-shaped images, offering the best way to make the most out of them.
Regarding stock images, you should check the Terms of Service (TOS) before making any customizations. Some stock photo companies, including those with memberships, prohibit any alterations to their photos in any way.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC EXPAND
We want to honestly say that whether Canva's Magic Expand is
a hit or miss depends on the specific photo you want to expand.
If you're trying to expand scenery-style photos, it can be
quite impressive. Even a half-picture of a tablet in the kitchen might not look
bad. However, we can't say the same for flatlays.
One way to create usable flatlay images is to keep the expanded space as minimal as possible.
MAGIC MORPH (PRO)
Magic Morph is an extension of Canva's text effects but on a
broader scale. You can create jump-off-the-screen letters and even Canva elements
using 3D design effects or other more unique styles.
To use it, you just need to select a letter or design
element and add a written prompt describing the effect you want.
In contrast to other Canva Magic Studio tools we've shared with you, Magic Morph can be enabled from the 'Apps' section in your left-hand menu.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC MORPH
Canva has highlighted this new Magic tool as a 'new and
improving' feature. As we mentioned, it has likely been released recently. It
presents a fantastic concept, and perhaps you may consider including it in your
monthly Canva template subscription.
However, it's worth noting that in our recent attempts to
explore over 10 different effects on some characters and font styles, the
results were not particularly remarkable. While experimenting with Canva
elements, we found that it produced cleaner results, but there is still room
for improvement.
It seems that Canva teams might be monitoring our requests, as evidenced by the example of the inflatable graffiti balloon. Many Canva users are currently trying to enhance its technology, and we hope for continued improvements in the future.
MAGIC EDIT (FREE)
Earlier, complex editing tools like Photoshop required
significant skills, but now, with Canva's Magic Edit, you can achieve similar
results in just a few minutes.
If you have a folder full of stock photos that you like, with Magic Edit, you can not only change the color of an object but also add textures, change backgrounds, replace objects, and much more. It is a powerful feature that provides the flexibility to enhance your images creatively and efficiently.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC EDIT
This is a feature that we really like in the Canva Magic
Studio toolbox. With Canva's Magic Edit, we can change the color of almost
anything in our photos according to our specific needs.
Using a simple text description, we changed green leather to
orange leather. While it was more complex than changing the color of a tote or
a t-shirt, we are very pleased with the results.
It's important to remember that this tool doesn't work in
every situation. If you want to change a significant shadow or texture, you
cannot effectively use this tool.
If you sell products like a t-shirt design with various colors, Canva's Magic Edit proves to be especially helpful for mockup photos.
MAGIC MEDIA (FREE)
Like Magic Morph, you can enable Magic Media from the
"Apps" section in your left-hand menu. Canva has given a serious
upgrade to its Text-to-Image tool, resulting in the introduction of Magic
Media.
Canva's Magic Media allows you to create incredible short
videos using a small piece of text or existing images in Canva.
Without the hefty price tag of an animator, this is by far
the easiest way to create unique video content for your blog.
By using a simple written prompt, you can bring your ideas to life and instantly create artwork, photos, 3D images, and much more.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC MEDIA
If you are looking for realistically appearing AI-generated
media, you might be disappointed with Canva's Magic Media.
Personally, we have no objection to saying that it appears
animated, as none of what we generated so far looks like anything we have seen
before.
The available features in Magic Media, such as creating
animated content, are beyond our expertise. This is because creating a graphic
or video based on a simple text prompt is a fantastic opportunity.
You and perhaps others might have seen that blogger often use Canva's Magic Media to create visuals for Instagram reels, stories, Pinterest pins, and much more.
MAGIC ANIMATE (PRO)
If you are already familiar with Canva, you may have worked
with text and page animations before. While it's a good feature for one or two
animations per design, adding transitions to the entire project can be quite
time-consuming.
Instead of selecting each Canva design element and text box
individually to apply animations, Canva’s Magic Animate combines everything
with just one click.
It works by using AI to determine the best-animated styles
for your specific product.
Now, you can animate your entire design with captivating motions. It also aligns the timings to ensure a smooth transition every time.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC ANIMATE
With the increasing demand for video content, Canva's Magic
Animate allows us to check all the boxes without spending additional time on
filming videos or using stock content.
We prefer creating animated Pinterest pins to change up our
content and provide variety to our audience without spending extra time. It
adds a bit of entertainment to our Instagram story graphics, helping to keep
our readers engaged.
For bloggers, another great option is to download your
animated designs as GIFs and use them in your emails and sales pages.
We found that emails with a GIF containing a call-to-action (CTA) have a higher click-through rate (CTR) compared to emails without a GIF.
MAGIC WRITE (PRO)
Magic Write is Canva's AI-powered copywriting assistant.
Similar to ChatGPT, Magic Write helps bloggers expand their thoughts starting
with a simple written prompt.
You can use Canva Magic Write for various purposes, such as preparing the headline for a blog post, summarizing text, creating a perfect Pinterest pin description, crafting promotional copy for an email, and much more. One of its notable features is that Magic Write consistently maintains the voice of your brand, so you don't have to worry about attracting the wrong audience.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC WRITE
As a blogger, Magic Write is one of the best resources in
the Canva Magic Studio lineup. It's quite common to experience writer's block
or seek an easy and quick solution, which usually takes up most of our time.
We specifically prefer using it for outlining topics,
summarizing key passages in the text, creating meta descriptions, and
generating blog post titles.
However, it's advisable not to consider Canva's Magic Write
(or any other AI-powered copywriting tool) as the sole source for content
creation for your blog.
You can use Magic Write frequently to gather inspiration or customize the obtained results to make it your own. For more related information, be sure to check Canva's AI Product Terms.
MAGIC ERASER (PRO)
Although Magic Eraser is not explicitly labeled as part of
Canva Magic Studio, it undoubtedly deserves praise.
With just a few swipes of Canva's Magic Eraser brush, you
can easily remove all unwanted objects, markings, and even logos from a photo.
Whether creating space for text, eliminating distractions, or simply clearing up a photo, you can use this tool for various purposes. Additionally, you can also use Magic Eraser to remove shadows from a photo.
OUR PERSPECTIVE ON CANVA'S MAGIC ERASER
As a blogger, we are well aware that bloggers often prefer
to use only a select few stock photos on their blogs. This is because most
stock photos contain undesired objects or elements in inappropriate places.
We have edited most of our product mockup images using
Canva's Magic Eraser. This allows us to focus on our digital products rather
than having distractions like a donut or coffee cup, which are often centrally
placed in photos.
We have also used it multiple times to remove product logos, such as Apple or notebook logos, ensuring that the entire focus of the images is centered on our own products.
CANVA MAGIC STUDIO FOR BLOGGERS
It doesn't matter what your blog's niche is because Canva's
AI-powered Magic Studio tools suite takes your visuals to a whole new level.
This year, we may hardly have opened complex design tools
like Photoshop and Illustrator to create essential visuals for our blog.
But now, when we can do tasks like remove, change colors,
and reposition with just a few clicks of the mouse, we find ourselves more
enthusiastic about using Canva than ever before.
While some tools of Canva Magic Studio are available for
free Canva users, as we mentioned above, investing $14.99/month (or $119/year)
for Canva Pro is truly worth it.
You can create truly unique, distinctive graphics, and videos using it, while we haven't even mentioned the awesome time-saving copywriting assistant here.
