THE SIMPLE VERSION

What is Canva Magic Studio + Content Planner?

Magic Studio helps create designs, images, video and copy, while Content Planner schedules eligible formats to connected social accounts. Canva also provides templates, brand controls, resizing and shared approval. The free design plan is useful, but scheduling and broader AI allowances depend on an eligible subscription.

✓ A good fit if you want to…

  • Want one easy creation and scheduling workspace
  • Need templates, resizing and stock media
  • Can review licences and account connections

– Choose another tool if you…

  • Need advanced social listening
  • Want free multi-network scheduling
  • Cannot manage brand and asset rights
