Canva just made its biggest leap ever, and here's why it matters to you.

We set the scene for the whole section: the shift from a design platform with AI tools to an AI platform with design tools. We also tackle the big question upfront, is AI optional, and what it means for your wallet.

Meet the 9 new capabilities, and the one idea that ties them all together.

Think of Canva AI 2.0 as an orchestra rather than a pile of separate tools. We walk you through all 9 capabilities at a high level, group them into two simple layers, and give Canva Code 2.0 a quick first mention.

Five minutes now saves you from re-explaining yourself forever.

Set up your Memory Library and your "About Me" so Canva AI actually knows your style, your brand, and how you work. We show you how to generate it, check it, and fix anything it got wrong.

Start a project with a conversation instead of a blank page.

Learn how to describe what you want and watch Canva build it for you, then keep refining through dialogue. Everything it makes stays fully editable, with real layers you can tweak down to the smallest detail.

Give Canva AI the context it needs to make work that's actually relevant.

We connect Canva to the tools you already use, like Gmail, Slack and Google Drive, and put Web Research to work so Canva can pull in real information without you leaving your design.

Set it up once, then come back to finished work.

This is where Canva AI starts doing things on your behalf. We cover Agentic Orchestration and Scheduling, so you can automate recurring tasks and have fresh designs waiting for you on a Monday morning.

Know exactly what you get, and what each prompt actually costs you.

We break down the AI allowance across the Canva plans, explain Standard, Premium and Ultra uses in plain language, and show you how to make the most of your credits (plus where the AI Pass fits in).

Not sold on AI? Watch this one before you decide.

We make the case for trying it yourself before forming an opinion, and we show you how to ignore it completely if it's not for you. Spoiler: it all lives behind one button, and the classic Canva you love still works exactly the same.

Your turn. Build a multi-layered, on-brand asset from a single prompt.

Put everything into practice with a hands-on project that takes you from one prompt to a finished, fully editable design. This is where it clicks.
