Canva has announced a major integration that brings brand intelligence directly into AI assistants, starting with ChatGPT. Users can now generate designs fully aligned with their Canva Brand Kit, incorporating specific colors, fonts, logos, and layouts. This eliminates the common issue of generic, off-brand visuals from AI tools that require extensive manual editing. The partnership between Canva and ChatGPT enables seamless creation of professional assets like pitch decks, social posts, and posters, making on-brand design faster and more accessible within everyday AI workflows.
Canva is positioning itself as the foundational visual layer in the AI ecosystem. This latest update to the Canva app in ChatGPT builds on its recent integration with Anthropic’s Claude and highlights Canva's growing role in AI productivity. Ranked among the top sites for referrals from AI assistants, Canva provides essential design capabilities powered by its proprietary design model. It understands and applies brand elements in innovative ways, turning text-based prompts into polished, brand-consistent outputs and addressing a key gap in AI-generated content.
“The soul of a brand is visual identity, yet it has been the missing puzzle piece in how AI creates,” said Anwar Haneef, GM and Head of Ecosystem at Canva. “Today, we’re bridging that gap by bringing our design expertise to the daily tools used by millions. Whether you are in ChatGPT or Claude, Canva acts as the connective tissue that quickly turns a text conversation into beautiful brand-aligned visuals. This marks a significant leap in how LLMs and design models can bring creativity and productivity closer than ever.”
The advancement reflects a broader shift in 2026 toward intuitive AI workflows that maintain context and deliver finished, consistent work. Brand guidelines evolve from static documents into dynamic resources embedded in the tools professionals use daily.
“We believe an agent’s personal brand is their X-Factor; it’s the superpower that builds trust before they even enter the room," says eXp Realty Chief Marketing Officer, Wendy Forsythe. "This integration is a game-changer because it allows agents to scale that superpower without diluting it. By accessing Canva Brand Kits within ChatGPT, our agents can move from a text prompt to a fully branded visual in seconds. Ultimately, this frees our agents to spend less time formatting and more time connecting, ensuring their X-Factor shines through in every digital interaction."
Once a Brand Kit is set up in Canva, users gain access to powerful features in ChatGPT:
Brand-Native Creation: Describe needs in plain language, and the AI generates designs using the brand’s colors, fonts, layouts, and logos.
Guided Presentation Builder: Structure the story with AI collaboration, then see it rendered in branded style with professional polish.
Live Design Preview: Refine and interact with designs directly inside ChatGPT via the Canva app, blending conversation and visual editing seamlessly.
The Canva AI connector is now available to ChatGPT users. Connect accounts at canva.com/ai to enable branded design in AI workflows.
This integration strengthens Canva’s mission to democratize design, ensuring everyone—from enterprises to individuals—can create high-quality, on-brand visuals effortlessly in an AI-driven world.
