Canva Releases Canva Craft, Its First Image Generation Model
Summary
Canva releases Canva Craft, its first image generation model, built by its research team to compete with Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, and Meta. Canva says it produces images up to 2K resolution in 30 aspect ratios and legible text, trained on human-designed templates rather than photographs. It is available to all users through the Dream Lab tab.
Key Points
- Canva says Canva Craft works in two stages: a planning stage for layout and text, then image generation.
- Canva plans to release Craftfast and Craft-ultrafast, two cost-efficient versions of the model, soon.
- Canva says researchers from Leonardo.ai, which Canva acquired in 2024, contribute to Canva Craft.
