Brand controlled design production for people who are not designers
Canva Magic Studio adds generation, resizing and versioning to Canva's design tools, with brand controls applied across a team. Rights are the detail to settle before it touches paid media: indemnification is an Enterprise feature, and licences on library assets survive AI editing.

Canva Magic Studio FAQ
Can I use Canva AI images in paid advertising?
Yes. Canva’s AI Product Terms state you own your output and may use it for any lawful purpose. Indemnification through Canva Shield is an Enterprise feature at 100 or more seats.
Does editing a Canva stock photo with AI make it mine?
No. Where output incorporates or modifies licensed library content, the original licence still applies to the underlying asset. This matters most for merchandise, resale and anything assuming exclusivity.
Will Canva stop non-designers producing off-brand work?
Only if configured. Brand kits that lock fonts, palettes and logo usage constrain what people can produce. Left unconfigured, Canva makes off-brand assets faster to produce, not slower.
