Canva: AI Photo & Video Editor

Design and editing in one app

Canva: AI Photo & Video Editor is a mobile design tool for making social posts, flyers, presentations, short videos and other visual content. It suits people who want finished-looking work without building every layout from scratch, from occasional users preparing an invitation to creators managing regular social media graphics.

What you can make

The app combines photo editing, video editing and template-based design on a single canvas. You can start with a ready-made layout, replace its text and images, then adjust the result for different formats. Its AI tools are aimed at practical edits, including removing unwanted objects, changing parts of an image and creating visuals from a written description.

• Templates for common personal, school, business and social media projects
• Editing for both still images and video projects
• AI-assisted image changes and generated artwork
• Shared projects for people working together

Why it is widely used

Canva keeps the main design process approachable: choose a project, find a suitable starting point and edit the individual elements rather than learning a specialist desktop program. The broad asset library also helps when a project needs stock imagery, graphics or audio. That makes it useful for quick one-off jobs as well as repeatable content work.

At a glance

Published by Canva in Art & Design, the app has a 4.78/5 rating from more than 24.3 million reviews and records 500 million-plus installs. Those figures reflect its broad appeal, but its best fit remains users who want a flexible set of templates and editing tools in one place rather than a narrowly focused photo or video editor.
