+ Generates a full deck or social campaign and then lets you edit every element in the familiar Canva editor.
− AI output leans on Canva's template look, and the most useful Magic features need a Pro subscription.

− Since the move from Stability AI to Jasper, several tools have been pared back and the model updates have slowed.
