Canva, which launched in 2013, has reached a significant milestone—celebrating 10 years and now boasting over 185 million monthly users. To mark this achievement, Canva is rolling out exciting new updates that further empower individual designers and encourage entire organizations to embrace the platform for their design needs.

During the Canva Create event in Los Angeles in May 2024, several new features were introduced to enhance the Canva experience, particularly for professional teams and workspaces. These updates include a completely redesigned user interface, new tools for organizations, a revamped editor, and powerful improvements to Canva’s AI capabilities.

One of the most exciting features of the new release is the chance to be one of the first to explore Canva’s new editing features. The initial release is exclusive to the first one million users who discover a hidden portal on their Canva homepage, with full access opening to everyone in August.

The New Canva Experience is designed for seamless content creation. With an improved homepage and enhanced editing tools, users can easily switch between projects. Shortcuts and powerful search filters allow for a smooth design experience, while the new editor puts the most frequently used features at your fingertips. Teams can collaborate effortlessly, with access to brand guidelines, design projects, and quick tools like the one-click background remover. New features like the “Starred for Team” section make it easier to share important content with team members, and organized commenting and suggested edits streamline collaboration.

For large organizations, Canva has introduced Canva Enterprise, an all-in-one platform built to improve content creation, increase productivity, and reduce costs. The platform offers advanced security features, streamlined brand management, and easy integration with other workplace tools. With features like multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and compliance with major certifications, Canva Enterprise ensures both security and ease of use for larger teams.

Expanding its role in internal communication, Canva now offers Canva Courses—a new tool that transforms designs into interactive learning materials. Organizations can create sequenced lessons, allowing team members to learn at their own pace. The centralized dashboard helps track progress and manage courses, making it ideal for onboarding, training, or upskilling employees.

Canva has also introduced Work Kits, which provide tailored resources for various teams like Marketing, Sales, Creative, and HR. These kits include templates, playbooks, and AI-powered tools designed to boost productivity and creativity.

In the AI space, Canva’s Magic Studio tools have seen significant upgrades. Magic Media now includes graphics creation alongside its image and video generation features. Magic Write provides personalized, brand-specific copy, while Magic Design generates higher-quality templates with minimal editing. New features like Styles and Layouts make it easier to maintain design cohesion, and the Resize & Magic Switch tool simplifies creating custom documents. The AI-powered photo editor has also been enhanced with Magic Grab, which allows for easy selection, movement, and replacement of elements in images. Canva’s AI-driven video tools now offer features like Highlights to capture key moments and Enhance Voice to remove background noise.

Lastly, Canva introduced several new tools aimed at making content creation faster and more efficient. Bulk Create allows users to generate large batches of on-brand assets, while Ad Tech Integrations simplify ad creation and optimization. Data Autofill makes it easy to integrate business data into sales and marketing materials, and the new Recordings feature lets users narrate presentations or add voiceovers to designs for personalized client interactions.

With all these updates, Canva continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in design, ensuring that users—whether individuals or organizations—have the tools they need to create exceptional content effortlessly.
