3 New Canva Features and Updates That will Impact the Way You Create Content
Canva just dropped some seriously exciting new features at their Canva Create 2025 event, and I'm honestly still picking my jaw up off the floor! As someone who lives and breathes Canva templates, I couldn't wait to share these mind-blowing updates with you. Let's dive into the three biggest game-changers that will revolutionize how you create content for your small business!
Canva Update One: Multiple Sizes in One Design (Visual Suite 2.0)
This first update is a total time-saver for small business owners who use Canva to create content for their small businesses! Canva has introduced Visual Suite 2.0, which allows you to create content for ALL your platforms in one unified design.
Instead of making separate designs for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and TikTok, you can now work across any format with the Visual Suite! From presentations and documents to whiteboards, spreadsheets, and more, you can start a design in one format, then layer in others as your project evolves. No more switching tools. No more switching into a million different designs. Just one design for your content marketing for your small business!
Why this matters: Think about how much time you'll save! Create your content once, and then easily adapt it for each platform, all in the same design, without starting from scratch. Your social media workflow just got a serious upgrade.
As Canva puts it, it's "not just simpler – it's smarter collaboration."
This is perfect for:
Streamlining your content creation workflowr
Creating all of the social media content you need for the month in one design
Developing your sales campaigns (strategy + content) all in one place
Canva Update Two: Advanced AI Built Into Canva
Canva's AI capabilities just leveled up in a major way with the launch of Canva AI. What makes this different from other AI tools is how seamlessly it integrates with your existing Canva assets.
You can now add your brand assets and existing Canva designs directly into AI prompts! Even better, whatever the AI creates can be immediately imported into your Canva design for customization and editing.
The update includes:
Voice, text, or media inputs for prompts
AI-assisted brainstorming and ideation
Content generation that matches your brand
Personalized design creation
But that's not all! Canva has also introduced Canva Code, which allows anyone to bring interactivity into their designs using a simple prompt. From calculators and flashcards to forms and custom widgets, you can now turn static content into dynamic, engaging experiences, no coding experience required!
Why this matters: This isn't just another AI tool... it's an AI that understands your brand. Need a quick Instagram post introducing a new team member? Just tell Canva what you need, include your branded elements, and watch the magic happen.
Canva Update Three: Enhanced Design and Editing Tools
Canva has seriously upgraded their creative workflow with powerful new editing functions and tools. The new updates include:
Magic Charts: transform complex data into beautiful, on-brand visuals with just a few clicks. 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.
Canva Sheets: a totally reimagined way to work with data and create content. Unlike traditional spreadsheets, Canva Sheets are deeply visual and built for design from the ground up. Need to turn data into a visualization? You can do it in a click, and then drag it straight into a presentation, report, or social post.
New Photo Editor: the new Canva Photo Editor makes it easier than ever to bring studio-quality images to life. With AI-powered features, you can:
Reimagine your images with just a prompt
Generate new backgrounds that blend seamlessly with existing elements
Edit with ease by clicking anywhere to adjust colors, move, remove, or replace elements
Access your camera roll directly from the Canva homepage
Why this matters: With these enhanced tools, creating stunning designs is more accessible than ever, even if you don't have professional design experience. The creative possibilities are truly limitless!
