For the second year, Canva Create 2025 brought together thousands of creators, team leaders, educators, and innovators from around the world for numerous seminars dealing with Canva.
From powerful new AI tools to a whole new way of working with data – and even designing with code – Canva launched products that blend productivity with creativity and reimagine what’s possible with Canva. Combined with an electric speaker lineup, live musical surprises, and creative inspiration at every turn, Canva Create was held with this slogan: Uncharted pushed the boundaries of what’s possible.
Here are some highlights from Canva Create 2025.
Canva Sheets
Where data meets design
Canva Sheets is a reimagined way to work with data and create content like never before. Built for today’s fast-moving teams, Canva Sheets is designed to delight, combining the structure of a spreadsheet with the creativity and power of AI-powered Magic Studio at scale for high-speed, personalized content creation.
Unlike traditional spreadsheets, Canva Sheets are made for the AI era – they’re deeply visual and built for design from the ground up. Turn data into a visualization with a click – and then drag it straight into a presentation, report, or social post, fully on-brand and beautifully formatted. New AI-powered tools Magic Charts, Magic Formulas, and Magic Insights make even complex data tasks simple, intuitive, and fast.
With Magic Studio at scale, Canva Sheets becomes a powerful content engine. Use the built-in AI tools to populate dynamic data – like names, headlines, or regional messages – and generate hundreds of personalized, on-brand assets in a click. Whether you’re launching a global campaign or running internal comms, it’s never been easier to go big, fast, and consistent.
Canva AI & Canva Code
From idea to execution
Canva AI is your new creative sidekick – helping you ideate, refine, and create faster than ever, all within Canva. Whether you’re kicking off a campaign, building a presentation, or crafting content at scale, Canva AI brings together useful tools that take you from blank page to finished design in seconds.
Use a simple prompt (voice, text, or media – whatever feels most natural) to brainstorm concepts, visualize ideas, generate content, or personalize designs. With everything at your fingertips, you can skip the complexity, stay in flow, and bring your best ideas to life without missing a beat.
Designing interactive content has traditionally meant jumping into complex tools or writing code from scratch. Canva Code changes that.
Now, anyone can bring interactivity into their designs using a simple prompt. From calculators and flashcards to forms and custom widgets, Canva Code makes it easy to turn static content into dynamic, engaging experiences — no coding required, and no external tools. Whether you’re building a landing page, a classroom resource, or a sales toolkit, interactive design is now just a few prompts away.
3. Visual Suite in one design: Your entire workflow in one place
At this year’s Canva Create, Canva introduced a new way to work: Visual Suite 2.0. In one design. Now, you can work, collaborate, and create across any format with the Visual Suite(opens in a new tab or window) – from presentations (opens in a new tab or window) and documents (opens in a new tab or window) to whiteboards (opens in a new tab or window), spreadsheets, and more. Start in one format, then layer in others as your project evolves – no more switching tools, juggling files, or breaking your flow.
With everything in one design, working together becomes effortless:
-
Creative teams can build entire brand campaigns in one place – from brainstorms and briefs to presentations and social assets.
-
Sales teams can map out their end-to-end strategy, including quarterly budgets, account lists, and ABM plans.
-
Teachers can plan and deliver full lessons, with outlines, presentations, and worksheets ready to go.
Perfect for multi-channel campaigns and fast-moving teams.

Whether you’re creating a pitch deck, building a strategy doc, or analyzing information in Canva Sheets, Magic Charts helps you share insights in ways that are dynamic, clear, and impossible to ignore. Just drop in your data, and Magic Charts will recommend the best visual format.
Data storytelling made simple. Highlight key takeaways, add interactivity with filters, or connect to tools like Google Analytics and HubSpot to keep visuals updated in real time. Whether you guide your audience through insights step by step or let them explore on their own, Magic Charts helps you turn numbers into narratives that land.
Picture-perfect photo editing
The new Canva Photo Editor makes it easier than ever to bring studio-quality images to life. Whether you’re creating content for social, adding polish to a presentation, or just making a quick tweak, editing your photos now feels as smooth as designing in Canva.
With AI-powered features, you can:
-
Reimagine your images in a click: With just a prompt, generate new backgrounds, and watch objects seamlessly blend into new lighting and moods for seamless, natural results.

Edit with ease: Just like working with a Canva template, you can click anywhere to adjust colors, move, remove, or replace elements in your photo. Complex edits become quick, playful tasks.

Stay in flow: Access your camera roll and uploads directly from the Canva homepage, then adjust and share your images without ever leaving Canva – no complex workflows required.
