With Canva Magic Write, you can say goodbye to staring at a blank page for hours. It can generate content in a fraction of the time, allowing you to focus on what you do best creating.
Canva is a popular graphic design tool that provides a comprehensive suite of AI tools to enhance the design process. One of its latest additions is Magic Write, an AI-powered writing assistant.
Magic Write is a generative technology-based tool that utilizes OpenAI's GPT-3 model for text prediction.
It enables designers to create text prompts for their ideas and then use Magic Design to convert them into stunning AI visuals.
This tool can accelerate and simplify your content writing process. With a single click, it can generate various types of content, including emails, social media posts, and blog articles.
With Magic Write, you can simply type what you want, and the AI will generate an initial draft in seconds. This provides a starting point for your writing. You can then expand on these points by instructing Magic Write to generate additional paragraphs.
With the help of this AI writing assistant, you no longer need to spend time brainstorming ideas. It can take your raw idea and guide you to the final edit stage.
Moreover, Magic Write is a tool designed to generate content that aligns with your brand's voice. It takes care of the text's tone and ensures it sounds just how you like it.
You can specify a tone of voice while providing a prompt for Magic Write to follow, such as playful or casual. Once you provide a command like this, Magic Write will generate content in the same tone.
Alternatively, you can specify your brand voice to ensure that all the content generated has the same tone.
The Canva Magic Write AI tool works in two ways: first, it is based on a text prompt the user has to supply.
The output depends on how you frame the prompt. If the prompt is detailed and accurately describes the need, it will generate more relevant and high-quality content.
Second, it offers different options to rephrase the existing text, such as rewriting, summarising, etc.
You just need to highlight the text and invoke Magic Write to generate a new version of your text. You will find options like Summarise, Expand, and Rewrite. You can even use it to turn paragraphs into lists.
Let's look at how content creators can use Canva Magic Writer to elevate writing. Here are 3 simple ways bloggers, marketers, or professionals can generate real-time content. They can save time brainstorming and writing content for blogs, business proposals, social media, poems, product descriptions, and more.
1. Using Canva Magic Write on Docs
This AI-enabled writing assistant is available in all document types within Canva, but Canva Docs is ideal for exploring all of Magic Write's capabilities.
First, open Canva Doc and click the + icon to invoke the Magic Write tool. Alternatively, you can type / as a short key that will pop up a drop-down.
Now, on the drop-down menu, click on the Magic Write option. A text box will appear where you can type a text prompt. Once you are finished with your idea or prompt, just hit Ctrl+Enter or click on the Generate button and watch the magic happen.
For example, we framed a prompt, "What is a Pinterest pin?" and tested it on Magic Write.

For example, we entered the prompt "What is a Pinterest pin?"
Magic Write generated content that explains Pinterest Pins in detail.
Now, let's see how the Magic Write tool can help write blog posts from scratch. Writing blog articles is not easy. It takes a lot of brainstorming and research to develop good topic ideas, captivating titles, and body text.
This is where Magic Write can help generate each section of a blog post one by one effortlessly. All you need to do is provide the right prompt to generate the title, introduction, outline, and body text.
Here are the steps you can follow to generate each blog post section. For example, let's write a blog post on Pinterest marketing.
First, open a Canva Doc and invoke the Magic Write tool by clicking the Add Magic + icon.
Now, we have instructed Magic Write to generate multiple titles through the prompt "Suggest 5 blog titles for Pinterest marketing".
It generated a list of 5 amazing blog titles for the primary keyword "Pinterest marketing."
Thus, even if you are unsure about the blog post idea or title, Magic Write can help a lot by suggesting more relevant and engaging titles.
Now we clicked the Insert button to copy all the titles to the Doc. We chose the first one from the list, "Pin to Win: Mastering the Art of Pinterest Marketing," and deleted the rest.
The next crucial part of any blog post is creating an outline that works as a roadmap. Again, we invoked Magic Write and instructed it to generate an outline.
We used the prompt "generate an outline for the blog post—Pin to Win: Mastering the Art of Pinterest Marketing." Magic Write generated a detailed outline, as below.
We clicked the Insert button to copy the outline to the current Doc. We reviewed it and made necessary changes, such as deleting unwanted subheadings and adding new ones.
Again, we instructed Magic Write to generate an introductory paragraph that covers the 3 points of the introduction section under the outline.
As shown below, Canva Magic Write generated an engaging introduction covering all the points we asked to include.
Next, we used this fantastic tool to write a subheading: The basics of Pinterest: How it works.
First, we selected the heading's text in the Canva doc and clicked the + icon to invoke the Magic Write drop-down menu.
We chose the Expand option from the menu, which expanded this heading in more detail, as shown below.
This is how we can complete the blog post using Canva Magic Write to generate texts for the rest of the headings and conclusion sections.
2. Using Canva Magic for designs
Magic Write can help generate text that can enhance the design. First, open the existing design or create a new one you want to work with.
