Canva announces Craft, its first in-house image generation model
Citing DesignArena rankings, the company says Craft ranks first worldwide in the People & Portraits and Landscapes & Nature categories and makes Canva the second most advanced AI lab in image generation.
What's happening
According to Canva's announcement, Craft was developed and trained by Canva Research, the company's AI research team. The model generates images at 2K resolution in any aspect ratio and can render text in 55 languages.
Whose desk it lands on
The executive responsible for content production. If your team decides to try a model like Craft for visual production, who will judge the results against your brand guidelines, and how?
Our view
The CX Brief's interpretation, not a claim made by the source.
Canva's claim to be the world's second most advanced lab in image generation does not mean Craft leads in every area. The model debuted fourth in DesignArena's overall rankings and took first place in two categories. The figures come from Canva's own announcement, not from independent testing.
