AI Canvas is an infinite visual workspace. Every image and video you generate in Runable lives here. You can upload your own files, generate new ones from text, arrange them freely, and use precision editing tools directly on the canvas, all without sending prompts to the agent. The canvas is the shared workspace behind AI Images, AI Videos, and AI Carousel. Anything you create with those features appears on the canvas automatically.Documentation Index

Canvas editing tools
When you select an image or video on the canvas, a toolbar appears with direct editing operations. These work without the agent and use significantly fewer credits.Image tools
- Remove BG - Strip the background
- Text Edit - Detect and change text
- Mark Edit - Draw on regions and describe changes
- Upscale - Increase resolution 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x
- Edit Image - Prompt-based editing with any model
- Create Video - Animate the image into a video
Video tools
- Edit Video - Change style or content with a prompt
- Motion Control - Transfer motion from a reference video
- Remove BG - Strip the video background frame by frame
Non-destructive editing
Every edit operation creates a new item on the canvas. Your original is always preserved. This gives you an implicit version history of every change you have made.Upload limits

- Layers or layer ordering within the canvas. Items are arranged spatially, not stacked.
