Canva Ushers in a Brand New Era at Canva Create

Canva, the world's only all-in-one visual communication platform, today announced a new suite of brand management features and AI-powered design tools, built to help teams and organizations of all shapes and sizes to communicate visually and produce content at scale.

"Ten years ago, we launched Canva driven by a vision to empower everyone to design anything, no matter their skills or experience," said Canva co-founder and CEO, Melanie Perkins. "Today, we're thrilled to advance that vision by introducing a whole new range of features, focused on empowering brands to scale their creative outputs. As technology continues to advance, we are reimagining the design process by making it even easier to take what is in your head, get it onto a page, and out into the world, faster than ever before."

As Canva embarks upon a decade as a powerhouse design platform, the company now touts more than $1.4 billion in annualized revenue and over 125 million monthly users ? an increase of more than 40 million since the launch of Canva's Visual Worksuite in September 2022. These 125 million people have now created a total of more than fifteen billion designs with the platform.

With enterprise and workplace adoption continuing to grow, organizations such as FedEx, Starbucks and Zoom are embracing Canva's all-in-one design platform to globally scale their visual communication needs.
