Here's how Canva's new image generation tool compares to models by OpenAI, Google, and Meta

Canva has introduced Canva Craft, a tool for generating images similar to those from Google, Meta, and OpenAI. However, in testing, Canva struggled with certain design tasks but excelled at producing realistic images. Here's how Canva's new image generation tool compares to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Muse:

For a birthday card prompt, Canva's output was lacking in design elements like font choice and the character's head size, while ChatGPT and Muse performed better by incorporating details like favorite colors and seasonal themes. In another test, identifying an object and changing its setting, Canva managed to identify the pendant but placed it unrealistically, while ChatGPT and Muse produced more realistic results.

Lastly, when asked to create a photorealistic cat image, Canva's result had an unrealistic fur texture and composition, while ChatGPT stood out with a majestic posture, realistic glow, and a starless sky. Overall, Canva appears to have room for improvement compared to the other models, particularly in graphic design tasks.
