Canvas
What is Canvas?
The Canvas is Morphic's main work area: the place where you generate content, see your results, and organise everything for your project.

How it compares
The Canvas is where individual assets are generated and organised; Compose is where those assets are assembled into finished video sequences on a timeline. Canvas is for creation and iteration; Compose is for editing and final sequencing.
Pro tip
Use the Canvas to keep multiple prompt variations and their outputs visible at the same time: comparing generations spatially makes it much easier to identify which direction is working before committing to a final approach.
Types and variations
- Morphic's Canvas supports both image and video generation workflows, adapting its tools and controls to the type of content being created.
- Within a Canvas, creators can work with single generations or manage multi-asset projects with many variations and iterations.
- The Canvas is project-specific, allowing separate canvases for different productions to keep work organised across multiple concurrent projects.

- The Canvas is used for all AI generation work in Morphic: from exploring initial concepts and generating character designs, to iterating on visual styles, comparing prompt variations side by side, and building up the asset library for a production.
- It serves equally well for single-image generation tasks and for complex multi-shot video projects requiring dozens of individual assets.

FAQs
The Canvas is Morphic's main visual workspace where you generate, view, and organise AI-produced images and video. It is the central hub of the Morphic creation experience.
The Canvas is where you generate and organise individual assets. Compose is Morphic's timeline editor where you assemble those assets into complete video sequences. Think of Canvas as the creation space and Compose as the editing space.
Yes. Morphic allows you to create separate canvases for different projects, keeping your work organised and preventing assets from different productions from becoming mixed together.
Morphic's Canvas is designed as a persistent project workspace, meaning your generations and project state are saved within the platform rather than requiring manual local file management.
Yes. The Canvas supports both image and video generation workflows, with the relevant controls and options adapting to the type of content you are creating.
Conceptually, yes: like those tools, the Canvas uses a spatial, visual workspace layout rather than a linear file-based interface. The key difference is that Morphic's Canvas is purpose-built for AI content generation rather than design or collaboration.
Yes. One of the Canvas's key advantages is that it allows you to view and compare multiple generations simultaneously, making it easier to evaluate different prompt approaches or visual directions before deciding which to develop further.
