JAKARTA - Canva has just added a text-to-image generator based on artificial intelligence (AI) to its app, signaling Canva is increasingly competing with Adobe.

The text-to-image option was previously available as a beta version for two months. Now, Canva joins Picsart which also adds free and unlimited text-to-image generators to its app last week.

Text-to-image Canva can now be used by its 100 million monthly active users for free. This feature is an implementation of the open-source text-to-image model Stable Diffusion, with some additional security filters and a dedicated UI to help direct Canva users to get the results they want.

Canva, which is available as a free app and paid versions with added features will give all users the ability to produce 100 images a day with the new feature.

How can the text-to-image Canva feature work quite easily, users will be asked to explain the image they want to see, users can then choose from various styles such as photos, 3D, paintings, patterns, and concept arts.

Then the tool will produce a four-image box to select and add to the user's design canvas. There is also an option to report images containing violence, nudity, hate speech, and biased or stereotype content.

"(The feature) is a learning experience for our community. We are eager to introduce this technology to them because it is a newly emerging field, and the way it works and how customers will interact with it is still being developed," said Canva co-founder and head of product Cameron Adams to The Verge., quoted Friday, November 11th.
