For founders navigating the creative economy, Canva Create 2025 made one thing crystal clear: work is evolving, and Canva is ready to lead that evolution. This isn’t just about design—it’s about designing the future of productivity.

Streamed globally from Los Angeles, this year’s keynote set the tone with a compelling insight from Canva’s co-founder and CEO Melanie Perkins, and COO Cliff Obrecht: “We’re living in an era of doing more with less. AI should amplify human potential, not replace it.” That sentiment echoed through every launch announced during the event.

Today, 230 million people design with Canva. In just one month, users created over 1 billion designs—that's 373 designs per second. These aren’t vanity metrics; they reflect a massive shift in how brands are being built, communicated, and grown—often by lean, fast-moving teams led by women founders and creatives.

Canva Sheets was introduced as a reimagined spreadsheet, fusing data and design. It’s built for real-world use—reporting to investors, managing roadmaps, or publishing branded data stories, all without leaving Canva.

Magic Studio takes Canva’s AI to the next level, letting teams generate content instantly—images, copy, layouts—all brand-aligned and ready to go. It’s not just fast; it’s scalable, something founders juggling ten jobs at once can appreciate.

Magic Charts turns numbers into narratives, transforming data into dynamic visuals in seconds. If you’ve ever struggled with a clunky chart builder while prepping for a board meeting, this tool will feel like a revelation.

Create with AI brings natural language prompts into the design process. Just describe what you need, and Canva builds it. That’s design at the speed of thought—critical for solopreneurs and agile marketing teams.

Code with AI quietly breaks a barrier by letting anyone add interactive components to their designs—no engineering degree is needed. For early-stage startups, it means MVPs and pitch sites can come together without dev bottlenecks.

Finally, Workflow Unification might be the most transformative update of all. Canva now allows teams to handle the entire creative lifecycle—from brief to brainstorm to rollout—all inside one collaborative canvas. It’s the death of context-switching and the birth of a truly integrated creative operation.

The underlying message? Canva is no longer just a design tool. It’s a platform for creative execution and operational scale—built with the belief that powerful tools should be accessible, intuitive, and inclusively empowering.
