Canva has launched its new Creative Operating System, marking a major expansion of the platform from a design tool to an integrated creative workflow engine.
At the core of the launch is an upgraded Visual Suite that brings together video editing, forms, spreadsheets, and code-based workflows in a single collaborative space. The update introduces Video 2.0, Canva Forms, Canva Sheets, and Canva Code, each designed to simplify how teams work across different creative functions.
The company has also introduced a proprietary AI model built specifically for design. This model understands visual hierarchy, layout, and brand context, allowing users to create, edit, and align content seamlessly across Canva’s suite.
Canva has added a new marketing platform called Canva Grow, which enables teams to plan, execute, and measure campaigns directly within the design environment. The platform aims to help businesses connect creative output with measurable performance.
Another highlight is the integration of the Affinity creative software suite, now available free to all Canva users. The move strengthens Canva’s offering for professional designers and bridges its accessibility to more advanced creative workflows.
Through the Creative Operating System, Canva aims to simplify the entire creative process by combining ideation, collaboration, and analytics into one ecosystem. The unified system helps businesses maintain consistent branding while improving speed and efficiency in content production.
The launch represents a strategic shift for Canva as it continues expanding into the enterprise creative technology space. With this update, the company positions itself to compete more directly with established design and marketing platforms.
Canva has started rolling out the Creative Operating System globally, with access available to individual creators, teams, and enterprise users.
