How it works

  1. 1

    Export your design

    Download the PNG or JPEG you are about to post.

  2. 2

    Load it into the checker

    Provenance metadata and AI declarations are shown, read-only.

  3. 3

    Post with the label in mind

    Disclose AI content as Canva's terms ask, or rebuild from non-generative assets.

Which Canva features generate content

Canva's generative features include Magic Media and Dream Lab, which create images from a prompt — Dream Lab runs on the Phoenix model from Leonardo.Ai, which Canva has owned since July 2024 — and editing features such as Magic Edit and Magic Expand, which replace or extend parts of an image.

Templates, stock elements and your own photos are not generative. A design built only from those is a layout, not AI output.

Check the export, not the design

Canva has not published a field-by-field account of what its exports carry, and flattening a design into a PNG or JPEG can keep some records and lose others. The exported file is the only reliable answer.

Load it above. The checker reads it in your browser and shows any C2PA manifest, IPTC AI declaration or generator name — the things Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn read when you upload.

Canva's terms on provenance

Canva's AI Product Terms prohibit removing or altering provenance and metadata tags on AI-generated content, including C2PA metadata, and ask you to make it clear when content you share on social media was generated by AI.

That is why this page reads exports and does not strip them. If a post is not meant to be AI, build it from your own photos and Canva's non-generative tools, and check the export before you share it.

What this tool does

  • Shows what a Canva export declares before you post it
  • Separates Canva's generative features from its layout tools
  • Read-only: nothing in the file is changed

What it does not do

  • Does not remove provenance metadata — Canva's AI terms do not allow it
  • PDF and video exports cannot be checked here
  • Cannot change how a platform labels a post

Frequently asked questions

Does Canva add metadata to AI images?

Canva has not published exactly what each export carries, and it can vary with the feature and format. Load your exported file above to see what it declares.

Can I remove AI metadata from a Canva export?

Canva's AI Product Terms prohibit removing or altering provenance and metadata tags on AI-generated content, so this page checks exports rather than cleaning them.

Why did Instagram label my Canva design as AI?

Most likely the export carried AI provenance metadata from a generative feature, which Instagram reads on upload. The checker above shows whether yours does.

Do I have to say a Canva design is AI-generated?

Canva's AI Product Terms ask you to make it clear when content you share on social media was generated by AI. Platforms have their own disclosure rules as well.

Is Dream Lab the same as Leonardo.Ai?

Dream Lab runs on Leonardo's Phoenix model, and Canva owns Leonardo.Ai. Inside Canva, Canva's terms apply; on leonardo.ai, Leonardo's do.
