Canva has launched a new Creative Operating System, its biggest product evolution to date.
It introduces a world-first AI Design Model trained to understand the logic and complexity of design.
The Visual Suite is supercharged with new tools like Video 2.0, Email Design, and interactive Forms.

A new marketing engine, Canva Grow, helps teams create, distribute, and refine ads based on performance.
The platform now serves 95% of the Fortune 500 and has reached $3.5 billion in annualized revenue.
The Creative Operating System is designed to move beyond isolated design tools into a connected workspace. It brings together creation, collaboration, and publishing into a single, AI-amplified environment. Co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins stated, “As knowledge becomes more and more accessible, we believe we’re moving from the Information Era to the Imagination Era, a time when creativity has never been more critical. We’ve been thinking about how we can empower our community to succeed in this era, which is why we’re incredibly excited to unveil our biggest launch yet."
At the core of this launch is a significantly expanded Visual Suite. Key introductions include Video 2.0, a completely reimagined editor for professional-grade video content; Email Design, allowing teams to create and export fully branded marketing emails; and interactive Forms that can be embedded in any design. These are powered by the new Canva Design Model, an AI trained to understand design logic and generate fully editable content. A new AI assistant, Ask @Canva, is built directly into the comments to provide real-time feedback and suggestions.
