Canva expands subscription features

Overview

In early August 2026 Canva rolled out new AI‑driven capabilities for its Pro subscription, adding tools such as Magic Write, Magic Design, background removal and automatic resizing. The enhancements were aimed at a broad user base ranging from individual creators to large enterprises, positioning the platform as an AI‑enabled design service.

A few days later Canva extended its Business (formerly Teams) plan with real‑time design collaboration, shared Brand Kits, comment threads, approval workflows, role‑based permissions and template locking. The update, highlighted through a virtual workshop in Washington, D.C., sought to streamline teamwork, reduce version conflicts and maintain brand consistency for larger organizations.

Together, the two releases illustrate Canva’s strategy of deepening its subscription offerings—first by integrating AI tools for creators, then by strengthening collaborative features for business teams.
