Canva Launches Visual Suite 2.0 for Enhanced Creativity and Productivity
At the annual Canva Create 2025 event, the design platform Canva introduced Visual Suite 2.0, a significant upgrade that combines its visual-first design experience with enhanced AI features, innovative spreadsheet tools, and multi-format integration. The aim is to streamline workflows while blending creativity with productivity—all within one platform.
Melanie Perkins, Co-founder and CEO of Canva, expressed excitement about the launch, saying that Visual Suite 2.0 represents a remarkable leap in merging creativity with efficiency. With a community of 230 million users contributing millions of ideas every year, the consistent feedback has been the need for integrating creativity and productivity into a singular, fluid experience. The platform aspires to provide redesigned workplace essentials alongside new creative methods with a personal design partner, making it more accessible for people to realise their ideas.
Everything Integrated in One Format
With Visual Suite 2.0, users are empowered to create and manage their projects across various formats—including presentations, videos, whiteboards, spreadsheets, and comprehensive websites—without needing to navigate through multiple platforms. This new all-in-one workspace is crafted to remove the struggles of handling different tools.
Introducing Canva Sheets
Canva Sheets is designed to revolutionise spreadsheets for the era of AI, featuring tools like Magic Insights and Magic Formulas. These tools facilitate the creation of summaries and the execution of complex tasks using natural language prompts. With drag-and-drop visual layouts and design elements characteristic of Canva, the platform aims to make data presentation as engaging as the rest of any creative endeavour.
Content Creation at Scale with Magic Studio
With 16 billion uses already, Magic Studio now collaborates with Canva Sheets to bring large-scale content creation into reality. Users can auto-fill text fields, translate content in bulk, create design variants at the click of a button, and resize campaigns instantly without encountering layout issues.
Magic Charts and Data Visualisation
Magic Charts allows users to import live data from sources such as Google Analytics or HubSpot and visualise it immediately. The AI feature recommends the optimal chart formats and keeps them updated in real-time.
Canva AI and Canva Code
Additionally, Canva introduced Canva AI, a design assistant that can produce entire projects based on voice or text commands. For those needing to extend beyond visuals, Canva Code enables users to create interactive elements—such as pricing tools or educational games—by simply describing their requirements in plain language, eliminating any coding necessity.
Enhanced Photo Editing Features
The photo editing functionality is also advancing with the introduction of Photo Editor. Users can now swap backgrounds, retouch elements, or eliminate distractions without leaving the Canva platform. A new Background Generator employs AI to ensure that lighting and mood blend seamlessly.
