About Canva Magic Studio

Canva Magic Studio is the umbrella brand for Canva's suite of over 25 AI-powered design tools, integrated directly into the Canva platform used by over 260 million monthly active users across 190 countries. Founded in 2012 (launched in 2013) in Australia, Canva has become the world's leading visual communication platform, and Magic Studio represents its significant push into AI-assisted design and content creation. Magic Studio's capabilities span the full design workflow: Magic Write generates copy and content from prompts, Magic Media creates images and videos from text descriptions, Magic Edit makes targeted changes to existing designs, Magic Expand extends images beyond their original borders, Magic Animate adds motion to static designs, and Magic Eraser removes unwanted elements. These tools are available across Canva's free, Pro, Teams, and Enterprise plans, making AI-augmented design accessible to non-technical users as well as professional designers. From a compliance and security perspective, Canva has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance and ISO 27001 certification. The platform is GDPR-compliant and notably offers data residency selection for Enterprise customers, with US and EU residency options available. User data is stored across Canva's infrastructure in the US and Australia by default, with EU residency available for Enterprise plan holders who require European data processing. Canva Magic Studio is particularly well-suited for marketing teams, communications professionals, small business owners, and enterprise brand management teams that need to produce consistent, on-brand visual content at scale without deep design expertise. For regulated organisations, the Enterprise plan with EU data residency and SSO provides the necessary governance controls for deploying Canva company-wide.
