Today, visual creative technology company unveiled Canva Enterprise, a latest offering for giant enterprises, together with various other tools for businesses, including tailored Work Kits, native adtech apps and latest AI capabilities.
The announcements got here at the corporate’s first international Canva Create event, held in Los Angeles.
The tools are a part of a dedicated effort to serve teams across large organizations, helping them produce visual assets and simplifying creative work. Within the last two years, the corporate introduced Visual Suite and launched multiple B2B campaigns to support its AI-powered Magic Studio suite.
Canva boasts 185 million monthly lively users and is utilized by teams in 95% of Fortune 500 corporations.
Canva Enterprise. Canva Enterprise is a subscription offering for giant businesses that comes with sophisticated admin controls and security, ensuring assets remain on-brand.
The admin controls allow leaders to administer which teams and individuals have access to visual elements and templates within the Canva library, in addition to how those assets are shared externally.
Enterprise-level security in Canva Enterprise includes Canva Shield, a set of trust and safety tools that features, in some cases, indemnification for AI-generated content.
Subscriptions are priced in accordance with the scale of the organization. Enterprise customers can increase seats with scalable cloud storage and create multiple teams, each with their very own controls.
“Each department uses an array of tools, creating complexity for admins managing control and access across a corporation,” Canva’s head of product Rob Kawalsky told MarTech. “Canva Enterprise is a way for giant organizations to bring together all of those capabilities and centralize all of different teams they’ve using Canva, with more control.”
Brand management. Kawalsky explained: “Managing brand IP and creating a transparent visual identity is important, and we desired to make it easy for organizations to set design approval requirements, or limit teams to only use content that’s ready for business use. Canva Shield is Canva’s robust approach to safety and privacy for all customers and it’s a vital a part of our Canva Enterprise offering, too. For additional peace of mind when designing using our AI-powered Magic Studio products, we also provide indemnification to eligible enterprise customers at no additional cost.”
Work Kits. Canva Work Kits bring together tools, templates and instructions tailored to specific teams in a corporation. The kits place all of those resources on a single page. Currently the corporate has Work Kits available for marketing, HR, sales and creative teams, with more kits within the works for extra teams.
Within the Work Kit for marketing and creative teams, users can arrange and access a brand kit (brand colours, logos and layouts) with brand management tools. Templates and instructions allow team members to create campaign briefs, social media posts and post-campaign reports. They may also find apps within the Work Kit and access workflow integrations that currently include Monday, Asana, Frontify and with work management tools.
“Since we introduced the Visual Suite in 2022, we’ve observed latest ways teams are using Canva, from HR to finance to sales,” said Kawalsky. “We desired to make it easy for people in all professions to see and access the complete power of Canva, in a way that’s tailored to their commonest tasks and needs.”
AI updates. Since launching in October 2023, Canva’s Magic Studio has been used 6.5 billion times, in accordance with the corporate.
New tools and updates to Visual Suite and Magic Studio AI products include:
- Magic Media: Text to Graphic, which generates graphics, icons and illustrations in a wide range of styles from a text prompt.

“Our focus is on adding AI where it’s most useful and removing tedious tasks that slow teams down. So at Canva Create, we’re upgrading Magic Studio with a spread of recent features designed to speed up the editing process and workflows,” Kawalsky said. “Our AI tools are powered by a mixture of proprietary models, models from partners like OpenAI and RunwayML (with our own customizations built on top), and third party apps from our developer partners. This allows us to always evaluate and upgrade the combination of technology we’re using, which is to say that our AI tools are all the time improving.”
Adtech. Canva also introduced native adtech apps in-built partnership with Google, Meta and Amazon to assist businesses create launch-ready ads. The latest apps provide quick feedback on designs and easy accessibility to approved copy and image assets, in addition to templates for ad creation.
Why we care. Many marketing processes, especially brand-related ones, involve departments outside of promoting. This means easy-to-use platforms for visual design and other functions that involve specific teams outside of promoting may also help increase efficiency across a corporation. Canva’s rollout of enterprise tools goals at increasing this efficiency, while providing controls that big brands require. Integrations with work management systems like Monday indicate that Canva doesn’t aim to interchange the workflow but augment and simplify it.
