The catch
Standard and Premium draw from separate allowances — check which one the feature you want consumes.
Why it made the list
Nearly every roundup still quotes "50 lifetime AI uses". That figure is stale. It's a monthly allowance now, and a much larger one. This is a correction in your favour for once.
How this was checked
The limits above were read directly from Canva Free's own pricing or documentation pages on 4 Aug 2026 — not taken from a roundup article. That distinction matters more than it sounds: 11 tools were rejected from this site specifically because the widely-repeated free-tier numbers did not survive contact with the vendor's own page.
Free tiers change without announcement, and they usually shrink. If you are reading this well after 4 Aug 2026, open the pricing page yourself before committing to anything.
