Create ads with Canva Grow


Create helps you generate high-quality image and video ads using Canva AI.

The Create experience has been rebuilt to make ad generation faster and more flexible. You can provide context using:

  • A website URL
  • A description of your business
  • Product photos
  • Your own images and assets

Choose between Premium AI and Ultra AI generation options.

After reviewing your information, Canva prepares three ad concepts for you to review before generating your ads.

Once your ads are generated, you can:

  • Edit them in Canva using Magic Layers
  • Publish them directly using Launch
  • Generate new variations

Create a video avatar ad

You can create image ads or AI-generated video avatar ads.

To create a video ad, tell Canva AI that you'd like a video advertisement during the generation process.

Video avatar ads generate a short AI-powered video advertisement and use Ultra AI generation. Because of this, they may consume more AI credits than image ads.

Suggested ads

When you connect an eligible Meta ad account to Canva Grow, Create can recommend new ad concepts based on your account performance.

Suggested ads help you identify what to create next instead of starting from scratch.

Requirements:

  • A connected Meta ad account
  • Sufficient account activity
  • Canva Grow access

Suggested ads are currently available for Meta accounts only. Support for additional advertising platforms will be available in future releases.

Advertising compliance

You are responsible for ensuring ads created or published using Canva Grow comply with applicable laws and platform policies. All ads remain subject to review by the platform on which they are published.
