Choose a model in Canva AI

Choose between Canva Core and Canva Brush model to control how Canva AI generates designs. Depending on your request, Canva AI may use a different model for certain edits, such as those involving uploaded images or your Brand Kit.

• Canva Core: Some designs you edit may use a different AI model.
• Canva Brush: All designs you generate use Canva Brush, an AI model trained at Canva.

Editing requests always use Canva Brush, regardless of which option you choose.

1. Open a design in the Canva editor.
2. Open the Canva AI in the editor sidebar.
3. Select the Model dropdown in the prompt box.
4. Choose Core or Brush.

This option is only available when editing supported design types. It isn’t available in Canva Docs, Sheets, Code, or Video.

Note: This feature is still rolling out, so you may not see it yet.

With Core, Canva AI may use different models to generate some designs. With Brush, Canva AI always uses Canva Brush, a model that Canva trained. Editing requests always use Canva Brush in both options.

No. Editing requests always use Canva Brush, regardless of which option you choose.

You may notice faster responses for some requests. Switching models won't affect the quality options available to you.
