Canva, the popular online design platform, has announced a significant array of new features and tools at its Canva Create: Uncharted Keynote 2025 event, positioning itself at the forefront of the evolving landscape of visual communication. This launch comes amidst a flurry of advancements in artificial intelligence from other tech giants, including the recent updates to Gemini 2.5, ChatGPT-4o, and DeepSeek, all pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve. Canva’s latest offerings demonstrate a clear intent to not just keep pace but to integrate cutting-edge AI in ways that empower users of all skill levels to design, collaborate, and bring their ideas to life more effectively than ever before.
One of the most significant announcements is the introduction of Visual Suite 2.0, which unifies all of Canva’s tools – Docs, Whiteboards, Presentations, Social Posts, Videos, Print items, and Websites – into a single design. This means users can seamlessly transition between different formats within the same project, moving from a presentation slide to a document brief to a brainstorming whiteboard without ever leaving the file. This integration aims to solve the common challenge of juggling multiple tabs and files, streamlining workflows and fostering better team collaboration. As one user wished, this allows for keeping all designs organized together and having multiple page sizes within a single file.
Recognizing the increasing importance of data in visual storytelling, Canva has launched a powerful suite of data-centric tools. Canva Sheets joins the Visual Suite as a new, visually intuitive spreadsheet application. Built for the AI era, Canva Sheets simplifies working with data through Magic Formulas that eliminate the need to memorize complex syntax and Magic Insights that offer one-click data analysis. Crucially, Canva Sheets is seamlessly connected to the rest of the Visual Suite, allowing for direct integration of data into documents and presentations without the hassle of switching between applications.
Building upon the foundation of Canva Sheets, the platform introduces Magic Studio at Scale, which combines the power of Canva Sheets with existing AI-powered features from Magic Studio. This allows users to generate a month’s worth of personalized copy with Magic Write, translate content into over 100 languages with Translate, remove backgrounds from multiple images at once, and utilize Bulk Create to transform a single design into numerous customized assets based on data from Canva Sheets. Magic Resize ensures that all content is easily adapted for different platforms, significantly accelerating content creation for marketing and other teams.
Further enhancing data storytelling capabilities, Canva unveils Magic Charts, powered by Canva Sheets and integrating the technology from the acquisition of Flourish. This feature offers over 25 rich and interactive visualization types, making it easier than ever to turn data into compelling narratives. Magic Charts recommends ideal visualizations, allows for data synchronization from various sources like Google Analytics and Hubspot, and provides interactive filters and tooltips. The introduction of Scrollable Docs allows for the creation of immersive data stories. Deloitte, a leading enterprise user, highlights how Canva is making it easier for non-specialists to create compelling data visualizations, driving potential improvements in business performance.
Canva is also doubling down on its AI capabilities with the launch of Canva AI, a centralized interface accessible from the homepage. This brings together popular AI features like “Design for me,” “Create an image,” and “Draft a doc,” allowing users to initiate design processes through simple conversational prompts. For instance, users can describe the type of design they need, and Canva AI will generate multiple options that can then be further refined through chat-based instructions. This aims to make AI more accessible and intuitive, supercharging marketing and design workflows as many users wished.
In a truly groundbreaking move, Canva introduces Canva Code, enabling users to create interactive experiences like quizzes, games, and calculators without writing a single line of code. By simply describing their desired functionality through a prompt, Canva Code generates the necessary code, which can then be embedded into any Canva design or published to a website. This democratization of coding has the potential to unlock entirely new levels of creativity and interactivity for users who previously lacked the technical skills. Early testers were amazed by the speed and ease with which they could bring their ideas to life, creating websites, interactive study apps, and even video games in minutes.
Throughout the keynote, Canva emphasized its deep connection with its community, highlighting that over one million user wishes inspire the products they build. The company celebrated the milestone of 230 million monthly active users creating over one billion designs in a single month, underscoring its position as the world’s largest and most loved design platform. Testimonials from major organizations like Docusign, FedEx, and Disney further illustrated the impact of Canva in streamlining creative production and saving significant time and resources. Canva’s commitment extends beyond enterprise, with free access provided to students and teachers in over 15,000 school districts globally.
The launch of Visual Suite 2.0, Canva Sheets, Magic Studio at Scale, Magic Charts, Canva AI, and Canva Code represents a bold step forward for the platform. By seamlessly integrating productivity and creativity, and by harnessing the power of AI in accessible and intuitive ways, Canva is empowering individuals, teams, and organizations to achieve their goals. This comprehensive update positions Canva as a formidable player in the evolving tech landscape, offering a unified and intelligent platform for visual communication in a world increasingly driven by AI. The company’s focus remains on making complex things simple, allowing everyone to design and bring their ideas to life, regardless of their technical expertise. As the keynote concluded with the granting of numerous user wishes in a whirlwind of confetti and celebration, it was clear that Canva is not just keeping up with the rapid pace of innovation but actively shaping the future of creation.
