Canva just got an upgrade - Here’s how smart marketing teams are using it
If your marketing or comms team leans on external designers (hi, that’s us 👋) but still dives into Canva for the everyday content grind—this one’s for you.
Canva just dropped its biggest update yet: Visual Suite 2.0. And it’s packed with tools that make internal content creation way easier and make life smoother for your external design partners. Think faster handovers, tighter brand consistency, and fewer “Can you just tweak this?” emails.
Here’s what’s new—and how we can help you make the most of it.
AI-Powered Tools
Canva AI: An intelligent assistant that helps generate text, slides, and images from voice or text prompts, streamlining the creative workflow.
Magic Studio at Scale: Automates large-scale content creation across formats, enabling bulk generation of assets, translations, and auto-resizing.
Magic Charts: Converts raw data into clear, branded visual charts, simplifying data presentation.
Enhanced Productivity Features
Canva Sheets: A new spreadsheet experience with built-in AI features. It lets you import and visualize data from tools like Google Analytics and HubSpot.
Magic Insights & Magic Formulas: AI features that offer instant data analysis, insights, and automated calculations within Canva Sheets.
Advanced Design Capabilities
Canva Photo Editor: Includes powerful, AI-driven features like background generation that adapts to lighting and composition, along with object removal and advanced retouching.

Interactive Development
