Canva Visual Suite gains more than 100 new features this year

The Canva Visual Suite has gained more than 100 features since the start of 2026, according to the company’s own announcement published on 4 September. Canva sells design software that marketing teams use to make graphics, slides and documents.

Sheets gets AI-made charts and grouped rows

In Sheets, the spreadsheet part of the suite, Canva has added charts drawn by artificial intelligence, filters that anyone with the link can use, hidden columns and grouped rows. Docs gained full-page designs, automatic page breaks and more styling choices. Websites built in Canva can now hold up to 20 sections, with controls for search engines and for domain names.

Presentations writes speaker notes on its own

Canva says Presentations now has a timer that estimates how long a talk will run, a one-click presenting mode and speaker notes written automatically. Whiteboards gained a Follow Collaborators mode, one-click reactions and a way to turn a board straight into slides or a document. The company says all of it is available worldwide.

Canva says 98 percent of Fortune 500 firms use it

These figures come from Canva and are not checked by anyone outside the company. It says more than 100 million people use Presentations each month, that a billion designs are made every month, and that nearly 1,000 documents and nearly 3,000 presentations are started every minute. Cameron Adams, co-founder and chief product officer, said Canva is becoming “one of the most widely used productivity suites in the world”.

Canva moves onto ground held by Google and Microsoft

Documents, spreadsheets and slides are the core of Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. A design tool that offers all three is asking marketing teams to move work it does not usually hold. Teams that already run campaigns with AI helpers, such as Optimizely’s helpers with job titles, will recognise the direction. Elsewhere a Warsaw property brand made a whole campaign with generative AI, and RTL made five episodes of a court show the same way. Before moving files across, it is worth checking who owns them, how they are exported and whether brand fonts and colours survive the trip.
