  2. Go to the
    Templates tab.

Fix Edit with AI issues

Can't find the Edit with AI button? Check that you're working on a supported design type. The button appears for presentations, social media, and print designs only.

Design doesn't look the way you want? Edit with AI looks at the template you choose for style and uses your prompt to decide what to include. Try adding more detail to your prompt. You can also attach a document like a PDF or Word file to give Canva AI more context. After generating, you can continue editing the design in the editor.
