Everyone is familiar with design programs like Photoshop and Illustrator, which have long represented the pinnacle of professional design. However, in this era, we cannot overlook Canva. This is a design program tailored for beginners that continues to grow and evolve to support various design needs for all ages and genders.
Today, we encourage everyone to open their minds to using Canva for creating various media. Nowadays, teachers, students, and professionals alike are turning to Canva to create slides, educational materials, and business presentations. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed with the convenience it offers.

Canva is ranked as the 5th largest startup in the world. The business began from a small initiative by a group of young people passionate about graphic design. Today, it has grown to serve over 190 countries globally, with more than 55 million monthly users. With such impressive numbers, let's take a closer look at what the Canva platform offers.

Canva: A Design Platform That Integrates All AI Tools in One Place
Canva comes with a variety of tools and features that make creating images incredibly easy. Many people don't realize that this is exactly what they've been looking for to save time (available only for Canva Pro accounts). Now, let's take a look at the must-try tools for "photo editing" or “Magic Studio” that you should definitely check out.
BG Remover
![canva-bg-remover](https://framerusercontent.com/images/QctTex4MC61YQ2DKFrm7t6K7fY.png)
BG Remover: An incredibly easy tool for automatically removing image backgrounds with just one click. Whether you're creating profile pictures or editing photos, this tool makes it very convenient.
User Review: Graphic designers love this tool as it saves a lot of time on manually removing backgrounds. The results are generally good, although sometimes if the image has a lot of details or a complex background, the tool may not be perfect. In such cases, some manual adjustment might be needed. Nevertheless, it's still very convenient overall.
Magic Eraser

Magic Eraser is a tool that helps remove unwanted objects from images easily. Whether it's people or other items, you can simply paint over the area or object you want to erase. It also fills in the area seamlessly, making it look as if the object was never there.
User Review: This tool is easy to use when you want to remove unwanted elements from an image. However, sometimes the results might not be perfect, causing the background to look a bit off. It can take some time to adjust the background after erasing. Overall, it still provides a lot of help and is very convenient.
Magic Grab
![canva-magic-grab](https://framerusercontent.com/images/EtZBt2iJ5G405ipbZFsUmJvhrd8.png)
Magic Grab is a tool used to extract desired objects from the main image. Simply hover the mouse over the object, and the AI will detect and separate it into a new image. The original image will be filled in seamlessly, maintaining its usability.
User Review: This tool is like combining Magic Eraser and BG Remover into a new tool. It’s great for editing product images, allowing you to resize or move objects easily. Whether you want to move an object from left to right, arrange elements, or perform cut-and-paste tasks, this tool is very helpful.
Magic Edit
![canva-magic-edit](https://framerusercontent.com/images/IubpRcz9sN4y12B8QSevmQDpMI.png)
Magic Edit is a tool that allows you to easily cut, add, replace, and edit images by painting over the desired area or clicking on the object and writing the details of what you want to add, such as a necklace or a suit. Then, simply click create, and you’ll have a model with a necklace.
User Review: From my experience, the results are not always very realistic. Some prompts, like adding a formal suit, can appear a bit off. Although there are four image options to choose from, it takes time to generate a new image until you get the desired result. However, once it creates the image, it looks quite seamless. It still lacks consistency and balance, but overall, it works fairly well.
Magic Expand
![canva-magic-expand](https://framerusercontent.com/images/ScmuKakpTner7RvX28yByGmCej0.png)
Magic Expand is an AI tool that helps extend the original image, enhancing its elements to complete the picture. Whether you want to change a horizontal image to a vertical one, expand an image to fill the workspace, or resize it, Magic Expand makes it easy.
User Review: This tool is quite useful when you need to use vertical images in presentation slides but only have horizontal ones that can't be expanded properly. Without this tool, expanding images could result in them being too large for the project. With Magic Expand, it becomes much more convenient. However, upon close inspection, some images may still appear slightly unrealistic.
Additionally, there are many other interesting features available, such as shadow effects that add depth to images and text, color tone adjustments, and image blurring (either partial or full). There are so many features that it's impossible to cover them all in a single article.
If Canva's AI image editing features still don't satisfy all your needs, Canva also offers "Apps" to make your projects even more dynamic. These include sound, text effects, and more, providing a truly comprehensive suite for all your design needs.
