Artificial intelligence (AI) has appeared in many fields, including applications in the world of design. Australia-based design company Canva has created an app that allows you to describe an image/video and then create it using the app’s artificial intelligence and millions of stock images in their library. Their application is called Text on image.
We describe the difference between the free and pro versions and how to use them. We will also discuss how to use the app, what to build, and the benefits of using the app.
App Access: Free vs. Pro

The difference is usually the feature you need to change your image.
For example, the resizing option will appear in the options, but you won’t be able to use it until you update. You can choose to use the free version of Canva right away and see if it meets your creative needs.
The paid versions of Canva prove their worth with the variety of media creation, sharing, and image libraries you can access for your creations. Its value shines through in increased productivity and time saved for your content creation needs.
