Canva launches Magic Components to output interactive components and production code

Design · 4 min read

Magic Components allows Canva users to mark elements as interactive and generate corresponding HTML/CSS and React component scaffolds. The AI suggests accessible attributes, focus states, and ARIA labels, producing code snippets that can be pasted into live sites or downloaded as packages.

Canva also added a 'component playground' where teams can test generated components across device sizes and tweak props before export. The export includes basic test harnesses and documentation pages automatically generated by the tool.

The company positioned Magic Components as a way to close the gap between quick marketing design and production deployment. Canva's offering includes hosting integrations that let teams spin up simple landing pages using the generated components with minimal engineering involvement.
