Magic Write: AI copywriting assistant for any design element
Background Remover: one-click background removal from photos
Magic Expand: generatively fill and extend image borders
Magic Morph: transform shapes and elements with text prompts
Dream Lab: dedicated AI image generation for designs
Translate: auto-translate designs into 100+ languages

Pricing: Free plan with limited AI credits; Canva Pro at $15/month includes full AI feature suite.
