Canva Revolutionizes Design with AI Coding, Spreadsheets and More

Canva has taken a giant leap forward in the design and productivity space with the launch of its Visual Suite 2.0. Announced at the Canva Create 2025 event at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, this update introduces a suite of groundbreaking AI-powered tools aimed at redefining how individuals and teams create, collaborate, and innovate.

Among the most notable additions is Canva Code, a tool that simplifies coding by allowing users to create interactive designs and mini-applications using simple text prompts. This feature is part of Canva’s mission to democratize coding, making app development as intuitive as typing a thought. "We want people to say creating an app is as easy as typing a thought," said Cliff Obrecht, Canva's co-founder.

Another highlight is Canva Sheets, which reimagines spreadsheets with visual enhancements and seamless integration of data from platforms like Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Statista. Features like Magic Insights analyze datasets to surface key patterns, while Magic Charts transform raw data into visually engaging charts automatically. These tools aim to reduce the anxiety associated with traditional spreadsheets and make data-driven workflows more accessible.

The suite also includes Magic Studio at Scale, which enables bulk content creation for marketing campaigns and internal communications at unprecedented speed. Users can populate templates dynamically with data inputs to ensure consistency across formats.

In addition to these innovations, Canva AI now features conversational capabilities powered by voice commands. Users can generate text, slides, images, and even edit designs simply by speaking or typing prompts. The platform also embeds metadata in AI-generated outputs to ensure transparency.

Visual Suite 2.0 consolidates all design formats—from documents and websites to presentations—into a unified tool. This seamless integration eliminates fragmented workflows and disconnected files, enabling entire campaigns to be planned, designed, and delivered within one collaborative space.

While these advancements position Canva as a leader in visual communication tools, they also highlight the growing influence of AI in creative industries. Despite concerns from artists regarding AI’s impact on jobs and intellectual property rights, Canva sees this evolution as an opportunity for growth across all professions.

With over 230 million monthly active users creating millions of designs daily, Canva’s Visual Suite 2.0 is set to redefine creativity and productivity for businesses and individuals alike. Whether it's coding apps or visualizing complex data, this update promises to empower users with tools that bridge the gap between simplicity and sophistication.
