What is NVIDIA Canvas?
Nvidia Canvas uses artificial intelligence to instantly transform your digital brush strokes into photorealistic works of art. Interesting, isn’t it? With Nvidia Canvas, even the most clumsy drawing can be turned into a masterpiece. According to Nvidia, you can spend more time rendering your ideas if you spend less time creating the background for them.
If you are using NVIDIA Canvas, you can customize the image to suit your needs. There are twenty different materials, from sky and mountains to river and stone, and nine different painting styles that change how a painting looks and feels. Just like in Adobe Photoshop, you get layers to organize your components. You can either create a completely new scene or use one of the provided examples as a starting point.
Can NVIDIA Canvas be used on iOS or Android?
Unfortunately, at the time of writing, Nvidia Canvas is not available on iOS and Android. People waiting to bring their imagination to life can check out our list of the best drawing apps for mobile.
Also, neither the App Store nor the Google Play Store ever provide a download of Nvidia Canvas for mobile devices. Canvas isn’t really meant for mobile use because the tiny hardware on mobile devices just isn’t capable of handling the gigantic gigaflops of Nvidia Canvas.
Who can use NVIDIA Canvas?
Almost anyone can download the Nvidia Canvas app. However, you will need an Nvidia RTX graphics card to use the app. If you have an older GTX series, even the flagship 1080Ti, you won’t be able to use it. On the other hand, even if you have an Nvidia RTX 2060, you will be able to take full advantage of Nvidia Canvas. Needless to say, the target cards are the RTX 30 series.
This is because Nvidia claims to have trained Canvas using generative adversarial networks and over 5 million images, resulting in stunningly realistic results that the GTX series cards are not capable of. As a result, you should have a ray-traced RTX card.
What are the system requirements to use Nvidia Canvas?
Typically, there is no fixed set of system requirements to use Nvidia Canvas. However, you must have an Nvidia RTX graphics card. These cards include Nvidia RTX 2060, 2070, 2070 Super, 2080, 2080 Super, 2080 Ti and TITAN. The same goes for 30-series RTX cards.
In addition, one video card will not be enough. You will also need an active internet connection, Nvidia driver 471.6 (latest version), keyboard and mouse. As for my PC (RTX 3070), Nvidia shows that the latest version is 522.25, if you want, you can download it from here.
If you’re a serious designer, the touch screen will be a great addition. Similarly, a stylus or drawing pad will work just as well.
How to download the Nvidia Canvas app?
You can easily download the Nvidia Canvas app by following this link. Since Nvidia does not make graphics cards for Mac, this software is also not available for Mac users. Only Windows users with valid RTX graphics cards can use this application. It is also recommended to have an SSD (Solid State Drive) on your PC instead of a simple hard drive to speed up the whole process.
How to install Nvidia Canvas?
If you want to download and install Nvidia Canvas, follow these steps:
- Click on the link above to download the app.
- Double-click the installation named Canvas1.3.202.exe in the Downloads folder.
- Follow the instructions on the screen until the installation is complete.
The installation size is about 1.35 GB, so make sure you have enough disk space and a stable internet connection.
