Turn generative AI features off and see less AI-generated content
You can choose how much AI you see and use in Canva. On Canva Free and Pro, you can turn generative AI features off altogether. You can also choose to see fewer AI-generated templates and elements in search.
We're rolling these out gradually, so you might not see them yet.
Turn generative AI features on or off
On Canva Free and Canva Pro, you can turn off Canva's generative AI features for your account in one place, instead of managing each feature separately. AI features are on by default, so nothing changes unless you turn this off.
Non-generative AI features, such as background remover, will remain available. When turning generative AI features off, you won’t be able to use:
- Canva AI
- Magic Write
- Magic Design
- Magic Activities
- Magic Edit
- Magic Media
- Magic Insights
- Magic Layers
- Dream Lab
- Canva Code
- Help Assistant for AI-generated design advice
- Use team content to generate AI responses
- Transform into Doc
- AI Shapes
- AI Charts
- Canva AI Music and Sound Effects
- Decorate
- Auto-match in Bulk Create
- Image to Video
- Translate designs
- Go to your profile icon.
- Select Settings.
- Under “Controls and permissions”, select Permissions.
- Turn Enable generative AI features on or off.
- New AI features will follow this setting once they're added to Canva.
- If your account moves from Canva Free or Canva Pro to Canva Teams, Enterprise or Education (or the other way), this setting won't carry over.
Show less AI-generated templates and elements
Turn this off to see fewer templates and elements Canva has tagged as AI-generated in Search and recommendations. It's on by default and only affects your own account.
- Go to your profile icon.
- Select Your account.
- Select AI personalization.
- Turn off AI-generated content.
Limitations
- Some AI-generated content may still appear. This setting only works as well as our AI-flagging coverage allows.
- This setting doesn't label content as AI-generated. It only changes what you see in Search and recommendations.
- It doesn't change AI-generated content you've already added to a design.
- It doesn't affect Brand Templates or searches of your own uploads and designs.
- It's separate from turning AI features on or off.
- It only applies to your account.
- Currently available to Canva Free and Pro users only.
Why can't I find the AI-generated content toggle in my account?
The AI-generated content toggle is being rolled out gradually and is currently available to Canva Free and Canva Pro users only.
Why am I still seeing AI-generated templates and elements after turning off the toggle?
Turning off AI-generated content reduces the number of AI-generated templates and elements in Search results and recommendations. Some AI-generated content may still appear if it hasn't been flagged as AI-generated.
Will turning off AI-generated content remove it from my existing designs?
No. Turning off AI-generated content only affects what you see in Search results and recommendations. It won't remove or change AI-generated content you've already added to your designs.
Why am I still seeing AI-generated content in Brand Templates or when searching my uploads and designs?
The AI-generated content setting doesn't affect Brand Templates or searches of your own uploads and designs. It only reduces AI-generated templates and elements in Canva Search results and recommendations.
