Details
Generative Fill allows users to select an area of an image and have AI generate new visual content to replace or fill it. Generative Expand extends an image's canvas by generating new imagery that blends with the existing content. Generative Edit applies AI-driven alterations to image regions based on user prompts. These tools are powered by Canva's existing generative AI infrastructure and require an active internet connection and a paid Canva plan (Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Education). For Canva Education accounts, only administrators and teachers can access Canva AI tools inside Affinity; student access is not yet enabled. Canva has stated that creative work in Affinity is not used to train AI models.
