Your questions, answered
What is AI art? How does AI art work?
AI art is generated by an AI model. The model is trained on millions of images along with text associated with them, including many works of art. From the data it analyses, the model learns about which images and text belong together. After the training, the model is ready to generate new images, based on the text input of a user. The model uses the learned connections between text and images to create new, unique AI images and art each time.
Is Magic Media’s AI art generator free to use?
Yes, Canva’s AI art generator is free to use. Our AI-powered text-to-art tool allows Canva Free users limited uses. With a Canva Pro, Teams, EDU, or NFP subscription, you get even more uses to generate the AI art of your dreams.
What are the different AI art generator apps available on Canva? And what’s the difference between them?
Canva offers a range of AI image generator apps that let you start with a text prompt and get matching AI-generated images. These AI image generators are:
Text-to-Image by Magic Media: An AI image generator that lets you input text and choose from different image output style options.
Create an image, powered by Dream Lab: Create stunning AI art from scratch or transform reference visuals by blending your favorite styles, textures, and inspirations.
Why use an AI art generator?
Why not use an AI art generator? Using AI generators has many benefits, whether you’re a budding artist, a professional content creator, or a start-up entrepreneur.

You can even use it for brainstorming new ideas. With the help of AI art apps, you can create countless designs for social media, marketing, and promo materials, and even for your own passion project.
Who owns the copyright in AI-generated art?
