The NVIDIA Canvas app, developed by the NVIDIA Research team, brings the real-time painting tool GauGAN to anyone with an NVIDIA RTX GPU. With the app, you can use AI to turn simple brushstrokes into realistic landscape images. Create backgrounds quickly, or speed up your concept exploration so you can spend more time visualizing ideas.
HARNESS THE POWER OF AI
Paint simple shapes and lines with a palette of real-world materials, like grass or clouds. Then, in real-time, our revolutionary AI model fills the screen with show-stopping results. Don’t like what you see? Swap a material, changing snow to grass, and watch as the entire image changes from a winter wonderland to a tropical paradise. The creative possibilities are endless.
PICK YOUR PALETTE

NVIDIA Canvas lets you customize your image so that it’s exactly what you need. Canvas has nine styles that modify the look and feel of a painting and fifteen different materials ranging from sky and mountains to river and stone. Paint on different layers to keep elements separate. You can start from scratch, or get inspired by one of the sample scenes.
WORKFLOW READY
Once you’ve created your ideal image, Canvas lets you import your work into Adobe Photoshop so you can continue to refine it or combine with other artwork.
Not anyone can download and use the NVIDIA Canvas beta. You must be running Windows 10 and use an NVIDIA GeForce RTX, NVIDIA RTX, Quadra RTX or TITAN RTX GPU.
The app is currently available as a free beta. Set up is easy.
