How to Use Canva AI Tools
1.Canva Magic Design
Our first Canva artificial intelligence feature or Canva ai tool is Magic design. Most of the Canva AI features’ names start with the word magic.So here is what magic design does.
You write the name of the design you want to make such as” instagram travel design”, Pinterest video pin”, Facebook Profile cover” etc and then you insert a picture to start off. You can upload the picture from the previous uploads in Canva or upload it from your computer, See how it looks like in Canva in the following picture.
1.First you will type in the search box the kind of design you need and then upload a picture you need for the design.
2.You will see your picture inserted in some suggested designs created by Canva AI.
3.Once you see the suggested templates on the screen, you will also see options to select the colour scheme and styles.
You can further customize the template when you go to the next screen which will be like this. Click on the customize this template button and you will find the regular design panel to make more changes to your template.
The main idea behind magic design tool is to start you off with a template and thus saving your time in designing your post from scratch. This Canva AI tool is very useful for people designing posts regularly for clients or their own social accounts.
2.Magic Eraser
As the name suggests, this Canva ai tool erases elements from your design. But it does not just erase them, it also replaces them with other objects of your choice or one’s created with ai prompts. See the example of how magic eraser feature works in Canva in the following images.The magic eraser tool will appear as soon as you click on the image. The editing options will open on the left.
1. I used the magic eraser tool to erase the tablet on the table. You need to highlight the object with the eraser. You can also increase or decrease the size of the brush from your left panel.
Magic Eraser’s Second Feature
You can find magic eraser in the photo editing options on the left side of your panel.
The second task the magic eraser can do is to replace or add the image that you ask. For example, you highlight an area with magic eraser and then give a prompt like” flying birds”, ” flower pot” etc and it will create some images for you to select. Let’s see the examples here:
- Select the object or area where you want to insert an image. Enter the prompt in the “describe your edit” space. For this example I typed “a black car”.
2. You can choose from the images that the magic eraser tool creates. You can find more images or regenerate them using the button at the bottom.
3.Translate Canva Ai Tools
The translation tool is located on the left side of your workspace under apps. You can translate the text on an image by using the Canva ai tools for translation.
For using the tool you will check the settings of the tool and make sure they are on.
Then select the language you want your text to translate into. In my example I selected French.
I selected current page from the options and selected the text on the page. The translation tool translated the text into French and made another copy of the slide with the new translation.
4.Animation Canva AI Tools
Canva ai animation tool is a very interesting tool to animate objects the way you like. You can find it when you highlight an image or element on your slide and then click animate on the top bar. You will see “create an animation” tool right on the top of your left sidebar.
One thing that I discovered was that you can animate an object static or moving, as well as multiple elements on the same slide if you group them and want them to animate them together.
Let’s see the video I created with the Canva “Create an Animation” Tool. You will click on the element to animate it and make a path for it with your cursor. See how it happens in this video.

You can give the magic write a prompt and it will write you some text on it. You can generate ideas with it or find captions or descriptions for your social media posts. In this example, I prompted the magic “Write to write few sentences about Canada” and this is what it came up with.
