Enter Canva’s AI Music Generator—a built-in feature designed to take the friction out of audio creation by generating custom, copyright-free sound beds straight from text prompts.
How It Works: From Text to Track
The core mechanic of Canva’s AI music tool is simple: describe what you want to hear, and the system builds it.
