Canva releases Craft, its first own image model

Canva released Craft, an image model it trained on human-designed templates rather than photographs. It makes images up to 2K, is built to keep text legible, and is available to all Canva users and through the API. Canva says chatbot access through MCP comes later.

A designer who already pays for Canva and has been sending text-heavy images out to another generator.
