Canva has introduced a new Draw tool that allows users to add customized drawings to their designs. To help those lacking steady hands, Canva created Shape Assist, which uses machine learning (ML) to turn shaky scribbles into sleek vector graphics. The feature is deployed in the browser, providing real-time shape recognition and drawing assistance for a seamless user experience. The ML model was trained using a large dataset of user-drawn shapes and can adapt and generalize to new shapes and variations. By running the model in the browser, users can access the shape assist tool even without internet connectivity. The model is small in size and performs operations quickly, making it efficient and accessible.
