Why creators leave Canva
Three reasons creators switch from Canva for AI work.
AI-first architecture
Canva's AI is a feature inside a design app. Postcrest is built AI-first — every model lives at the workflow core.
Custom-model training
Canva can't be trained on your face / brand / product. Postcrest trains a LoRA in 15-30 min, identity locked.
Real AI video
Magic Video is template-driven. Postcrest bundles Veo 3.1, Kling, Luma, Seedance.
