Join us as we explore five new cutting-edge features on Canva, including AI-driven time-saving capabilities and innovative ways to enhance audience engagement.

“When you change one thing, you have the ability to change EVERYTHING.”

1. SORT WHITEBOARD STICKIES

Whiteboards have always been useful tools to map out your ideas visually, whether for team brainstorming or creating campaign mood boards. Now, with AI-powered sorting, Canva’s new Sort feature makes organizing your whiteboard sticky notes a breeze. Easily group stickies by color, name, or topic, allowing for more efficient summarization and workflow management.

2. EXPAND YOUR GLOBAL REACH WITH TEMPLATE TRANSLATION

Canva’s enhanced AI-powered Translate tool now allows you to effortlessly translate any template into over 100 languages. Whether you’re crafting onboarding materials for an expanding international team or developing global lesson plans, simply select ‘Translate’ from the drop-down menu to convert your design with ease.

3. UPDATED MAGIC WRITE TOOL

AI-powered text generators have become a global phenomenon in recent years. Canva’s Magic Write tool has been utilized over 180 million times since its creation. The latest updates have boosted the tool’s speed while preserving the original writing prompts. Canva is expected to drop new custom controls for Magic Write soon. Whether you’re crafting a meticulously detailed design brief, acquiring new skills, or brainstorming innovative educational activities, prepare to overcome writer’s block and unleash boundless creativity.

4. TAKE INTERACTIVE VISUALIZATIONS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Visual storytelling is essential for communicating complex concepts and data, and Canva’s latest interactive visualizations will elevate your next presentation. The platform’s new Bar Chart Race animation seamlessly transforms data into stunning, animated visuals, perfect for illustrating audience demographics or metric changes over time.

Canva also enhanced presentation features with interactive chart legends, allowing you to quickly zoom in on specific data points and categories. Additionally, innovative bubble plots add another dimension to your data storytelling.
