Nova Canvas is Pictory's model for people. When a scene needs a face that actually holds up — an expression that reads as genuine, a human subject you'd believe is real if you saw them in a video — this is the model built for that job. It's the one to reach for on testimonial visuals, where a stiff or uncanny face kills credibility fast, and for character work where the same person needs to look consistent across shots. Any time a video lives or dies on whether the person in it feels real, Nova Canvas is what carries that weight.
Step 1
Inside the video editor, open the Visuals tab and select AI Studio. You'll see a prompt box, a model picker, and style options.
Step 2
Type what you want to see: age, expression, setting, wardrobe. Pick your style, aspect ratio, and Nova Canvas as the model. Nova Canvas responds to specific human detail, so name the mood and posture you want.
Step 3
Preview the result, then add it to your current scene, save it to your library, or download it. Regenerate as many times as you want.
Nova Canvas is the image model built for scenes with people in them. It lives inside Pictory's AI Studio, so you can describe a person, a face, or a human subject, generate the image, and drop it into a video project without leaving the editor. At 4 credits per image, Nova Canvas is priced in the middle of Pictory's image lineup, and it's the only model tuned specifically for lifelike human realism. Use it for testimonial cards, character shots, portrait visuals, and any scene where you need a person who reads as real, not a stock avatar.
Most image models struggle with faces. Nova Canvas is built for them. It produces realistic expressions, natural skin, and human proportions that hold up under a viewer's attention. That makes it the right pick for testimonial visuals, character storytelling, and any scene where a person has to sell the moment.
Nova Canvas supports the same six built-in styles as Pictory's other image models: Photorealistic, Artistic, Cartoon, Minimalist, Vintage, and Futuristic. Photorealistic is where Nova Canvas earns its keep, but the same face can carry through an artistic or cartoon version of the scene if that's what your video calls for.
Every image you generate lands inside your project. Add it to a scene, layer it under captions, or pair it with a voiceover from Pictory's AI voice library. Then finish the video with your brand kit: your logo, your colors, your fonts. No switching tabs, no re-uploading.
Nova Canvas is one of the five AI image models inside Pictory's AI Studio. It's tuned for lifelike human realism at 4 credits per image. Use it when your scene needs a realistic face, a human character, or a person who has to read as real, not a stock avatar.
Nova Canvas costs 4 credits per image, which puts it in the middle of Pictory's image lineup. Flux (0.6 credits) and Seedream (2 credits) sit below it, and Nano Banana Pro (14 credits) sits above.
Nova Canvas is the model to pick when your image features a person. Testimonial visuals, character storytelling, portrait shots, and any scene where a lifelike face or expression has to carry the moment. It's the only model in Pictory's lineup tuned specifically for realistic humans.
Nova Canvas generates images in 16:9, which fits landscape video projects out of the box. If you're building a vertical or square video, you can crop or reposition the generated image inside Pictory's video editor.
Yes. Every generated image has an 'Edit with AI' menu. You can edit the image with a text prompt or animate it into a short video clip. You can also save it to your library, reuse the prompt on another scene, or download the file.
