Frequently asked questions

Is Sirv AI Studio a replacement for Canva?

They do different jobs. Canva is a general design tool for social graphics, presentations, and marketing material. Sirv AI Studio is built for product image work: AI background removal, batch processing, asset management, and Shopify sync. You can use both: design in Canva, and process and manage product images in Sirv AI Studio.

What does Sirv AI Studio do that Canva does not?

Sirv AI Studio processes product images in batches (background removal, upscaling, lifestyle shots), keeps them in an asset library with collections and search, links them to products, and syncs with Shopify (Beta). Saved workflows run several steps in order. It is built for product photography, not general design.

Does Sirv AI Studio have templates and design tools like Canva?

No. Sirv AI Studio has no design templates. It focuses on AI processing and asset management. Instead of laying out a design, you use AI tools: generate lifestyle shots from product photos, create product videos from still images, replace backgrounds with AI-generated scenes, and write alt text.

Can I use Canva and Sirv AI Studio together?

Yes. Prepare product cut-outs and lifestyle shots in Sirv AI Studio, download the approved images, and place them in Canva designs for social posts and ads. Keep the master product images in Sirv AI Studio, so the next design starts from the approved version.
