What Nova Canvas is good for

editorial

Nova Canvas offers image input, with no token price published by AWS. Callable in 3 of 31 regions.

Suits

  • Images. Accepts image input: screenshots, scanned documents, charts and UI captures.

Think twice if

  • Agentic loops. No prompt caching published, so every step re-pays full price for the prompt prefix. Expensive for agents that resend a long context.
  • Function calling. No tool use, so it cannot drive an agent loop or call your APIs — it answers from what is in the prompt.
  • Interactive UIs. No response streaming, so a user waits for the whole answer before seeing anything.
  • Data residency. Available in only 3 of 31 regions, so it may not clear a residency requirement.

This section is judgement, not data from AWS. It is composed from the capabilities, context window, price position and region coverage shown elsewhere on this page — so it stays in step with the daily snapshot rather than going stale.

Pricing by region

No published token pricing

The AWS Price List API publishes no token SKU for this model, and it is not in our curated overlay. This is common for embedding, image and video models, which bill per request or per second rather than per token.

Region availability

TPM / RPM are default account quotas from AWS Service Quotas where a model-specific limit is published. They are per-account defaults and adjustable on request.

Where this model actually runs

Under a strict residency constraint, Nova Canvas can be served without the request leaving 4 of the 25 jurisdictions with a Bedrock region.
