Canva AI, Sheets, and Code Launch in Visual Suite 2.0

Since its 2012 introduction, Canva has grown to become a popular visual communication tool with over 230 million monthly active users. The firm declared what it dubbed its largest product launch since its founding at its annual Canva Create conference. 

On Thursday, Canva announced Visual Suite 2.0, a revamped platform with AI-powered tools and additional features. At its annual Canva Create event in Los Angeles, the Sydney-based visual communications platform unveiled a number of new features under the Visual Suite 2.0 umbrella, including Canva AI, Canva Sheets, Canva Code, Magic Charts, and Visual Suite in One Design. The business did not specify whether or not users on the platform’s free tier would have access to all of these capabilities or when they might be broadly released.

The business described all of the new tools and capabilities that consumers would be able to access under the Visual Suite 2.0 umbrella in a news statement. In addition to highlighting how it is reinventing its design workflow for the AI-powered future, Canva described it as the company’s largest product launch since its founding in 2012. The new features are centred around collaboration, communication, and creativity.

The Visual Suite in One Design is one of the most significant new features. Canva is expanding the range of content that users may produce inside a single interface. A user working on a presentation could only add modules that matched the normal presentation size since design sheets were previously restricted to a set dimension. This is changed by Visual Suite, which gives users more flexibility and creative freedom by enabling them to add and work with slides of different sizes inside the same project.

This implies that users may include an illustration slide from an Instagram Story, a document, and a presentation slide in the same project. According to Canva, this will do away with the need for disparate tools and disjointed workflows.

Canva Sheets is another recent addition that offers a spreadsheet tool that lets users combine text and data to create a visual experience. With features like Magic Insights, customers may streamline their data, and the product makes use of the AI-powered Magic Studio. Additionally, users may use the Data Connectors functionality to import data from HubSpot, Statista, Google Analytics, and other sources. According to Canva, the application will also support standard spreadsheet formulae.

The company is also now introducing Magic Charts, an AI experience that uses a single tap to transform raw statistics into visualizations, in addition to Canva Sheets. According to the firm, users will be able to create infographics, dynamic visuals, and scrollable reports. Additionally, Canva is offering additional themes for users to select from.

The site is also getting Canva AI, a voice-activated AI assistant. It is a convenient way to access all of the AI functions enabled by Magic Studio in one location. According to the firm, users will be able to create text, presentations, and photos with ease and use these tools in a conversational way. Additionally, Canva AI will enable users to resize graphics and modify photographs with a single voice-activated request.

With its latest Canva Code capabilities, the firm is also concentrating on coding. It is basically a low-code/no-code tool that enables users to build code for various apps and web designs using AI in response to suggestions. Users should be able to switch between code and design preview, according to the business. Users may produce interactive designs, educational materials, and landing pages for websites.

Lastly, the Visual Suite of the platform will now include Canva Photo Editor. Users should also be able to add AI-generated backdrops, change individual parts in a picture, and add or delete items with the new AI features.

Additionally, Canva stated that it has taken precautions to guarantee the security of these AI-powered products. Canva employed “input and output moderation, safety filters, bias mitigation, and clear user controls over how data gets utilized in AI training” in the development of these products.

Other new features added to Visual Suites 2.0 are Canvas sheets with interesting features like Magic Insights and Magic Formulas, which are driven by AI,, Magic Studio to use bulk create to bring your designs to life in several variants, each with a unique URL kept in a separate column:, Magic Charts to make your data simplified, easy and attractive.
