Canva Integrates Google’s Veo 3 AI to Offer Audio-Enabled Video Creation for Premium Users
Canva has officially integrated Google’s cutting-edge Veo 3 AI video generation model into its platform, offering premium users the ability to create short, audio-synced videos using just text prompts. The new feature, part of Canva’s growing suite of AI-powered tools, allows users to produce up to 8-second video clips with high-quality visuals and ambient sound, directly accessible through the Canva web and mobile apps.
The collaboration comes after Google unveiled Veo 3 during its I/O 2025 developer conference. Marketed as a significant leap in generative video AI, Veo 3 is designed to transform basic text inputs into cinematic visuals accompanied by matching audio. However, the tool remains exclusive to subscribers of Google’s AI Pro and Ultra tiers via the Gemini platform.
By partnering with Google, Canva is positioning itself as a more advanced creative tool for professionals, educators, and content creators. While many of Canva's core features remain free, the addition of Veo 3 aims to draw more users into its paid subscription model by offering capabilities that go beyond static design.
How to Use Veo 3 AI in Canva
To access the new feature, users must have a Canva premium account. Once active, the “Create with AI” option becomes available, allowing users to describe the type of video they wish to generate using natural language prompts. Users can further customize the output by adjusting elements such as video duration and style using Canva’s editor interface.
The platform's approach reflects a broader strategy to enrich its creative ecosystem through integrations with powerful third-party AI tools. This move aligns with Canva’s ambition to remain competitive in an evolving digital content landscape, especially as rivals increasingly embrace AI.
Google Eyes YouTube Shorts for Next Veo 3 Rollout
Google’s plans for Veo 3 extend well beyond Canva. According to YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, the tech giant is preparing to bring Veo 3’s capabilities to YouTube Shorts later this year. This integration is expected to enable users to generate short-form videos complete with scripts and visuals, potentially reshaping content creation on the platform.
However, this AI-driven pivot raises questions about the future of human content creators, especially those who rely on platforms like YouTube Shorts for their livelihood. As AI-generated content becomes more accessible and indistinguishable from human-made media, creators may face growing competition from synthetic productions.
For now, Canva users can explore the power of Veo 3 through a seamless interface, marking a notable step forward in the democratization of AI-generated video content — but also signaling deeper industry shifts on the horizon.
