Canva launches Craft, its first in-house image model
decoder ·
Canva has officially launched Craft, its first proprietary image generation model developed by its internal research team. The company claims this new tool can compete with leading models from major tech giants like Google, OpenAI, and Meta. Unlike standard models trained on photos, Craft was built from scratch using millions of design templates to better suit creative workflows. The system plans composition and text before generating images at up to 2K resolution across more than 30 aspect ratios. It supports text rendering in 55 languages and allows users to edit results through Magic Layers. According to Canva, the model ranked fourth overall on the DesignArena platform, taking first place in portraits and landscapes categories. Craft is currently available to all users via Dream Lab and a public API, with further integrations planned for later.
