Magic Media is the text-to-image generator inside Canva.

Magic Write drafts and rewrites text inside your designs: social captions, presentation copy, headline options, and tone adjustments. It is integrated into docs and design surfaces, so you can generate a paragraph and restyle it with brand fonts in one workflow. It handles short-form copy best, while long drafts still benefit from a human editing pass.
