TL;DR

What did u/RizDroid use Canva for?

A Canva subscriber who makes slideshow food videos used Canva's AI prompt box, referring to photos by page number, to build a combined cover in under a minute. They say they got the result "In under a minute" and wrote, "Can't believe how much time I wasted making collages by hand before this!"

What they did

They placed each of their own photos on its own page in a Canva project, then told Canva AI things like "create a new page with the strainer showing the separated egg yolks from the photo on page 1" and finally "create a new page creatively combining pages 1, 2, 3, and 4 into a single cover."

How it went

They say they got the result "In under a minute" and wrote, "Can't believe how much time I wasted making collages by hand before this!"

Worth knowing

  • It is one cover from one session. Referring to exact page numbers is what lets the AI find the right photos.
  • Price check: Canva: free plan; Canva Pro: US$18/month, or US$12/month on a yearly plan (US$144/year) (checked Oct 26, 2026).
