Canva Brush is a new vision-language model that can edit individual elements, restyle complete presentations and create designs from a blank page inside Canva AI. It analyses the layout, layers and visual style of the design while making changes.
According to the LinkedIn post, Brush completes general design editing tasks 69% faster than Canva’s previous agent. It also cuts the cost per edit task by 46%.
Canva Brush Works Across Layouts and Layers
Brush can handle changes at different scales. A user can ask it to fix one line of text without rebuilding the surrounding design. The same model can restyle every slide in a deck, taking the existing layout and layers into account.
It can also start from an empty page. This means Canva AI uses Brush for both generating a design and editing work that is already under way. The resulting designs remain editable, rather than becoming flattened images that need to be recreated for further changes.
