Details
Magic Media uses generative AI models — including Stable Diffusion and Leonardo.Ai's Phoenix model — to produce images from text descriptions. Users select a prompt, choose a style preset (e.g., Watercolor, Filmic, Neon), and Magic Media generates a set of images to choose from. Free users receive up to 50 image generation credits; Canva Pro users receive 500 credits per month. The tool is built into the Canva editor and accessible via the Elements tab.
