Canva Create 2025, themed "Uncharted," introduced Canva's most significant product launches to date, unveiling Visual Suite 2.0 - a big enhancement that brings together productivity and creativity in one platform.
As I always try to bring you the latest AI tools that are useful for content creation and writing, I had to cover this one. Canva plays a pretty big role in creating my visuals for AI Disruptor. I use it mostly for thumbnails.
This guide is a breakdown of the major new tools released, their features, and how to use them effectively.
Note: most of these features are “coming soon,” so make sure to keep checking back for when they are finally available.
Visual Suite 2.0 is the foundation of Canva's new ecosystem
Visual Suite 2.0 allows users to seamlessly work across different design types (presentations, videos, whiteboards, websites) all in one new format, eliminating the need to switch between tools or lose context.
Unified workspace: Create across all formats in one design
Streamlined workflow: No more jumping between tools or files
Improved collaboration: Work with team members in a single space
Canva Sheets reimagines spreadsheets for the AI era
Canva Sheets is a powerful, visual, and creative way to bring data to life and create content at scale. Built for the AI era, it makes complex data tasks simple and intuitive.
It offers quite a few interesting features:
Magic Insights: AI-powered data analysis that identifies trends and patterns automatically
Magic Formulas: Create formulas by describing what you want in plain language
Magic Charts: Turn data into visualizations with one click
Visual cell content: Add videos, images, and other media directly to cells
Bulk Create: Generate multiple designs at once from your spreadsheet data

I can see this tool being used by a lot of:
Marketers to manage campaigns, create content in bulk, track progress
Creatives to scale content, track expenses, plan content calendars
Business Owners to manage budgets, visualize profits, create content engines
Sales Teams to track leads, generate reports, streamline CRM
