Canva enters frontier image model race with Craft: plans layout first, renders 2K designs with editable layers
SucceededMind · x · 2026-10-23
Canva has launched Craft, an image model built specifically for design work rather than generic image generation. Its key twist: it plans the layout before rendering, addressing the text placement and composition failures common to other models. It outputs 2K-resolution images with accurate text, is trained on real design work, and produces results that can be converted into editable layers — a workflow fit that no other image generator currently offers.
