Jakarta, INTI – Canva has once again shaken up the creative tech world with the launch of Canva Code, a groundbreaking AI-powered feature that allows anyone—even without programming skills—to build mini applications and interactive elements using simple text commands. With this release, Canva ushers in a new era of digital design that is easier, faster, and more inclusive than ever before.
AI Code Generator: From Idea to App in Seconds
According to Canva’s official website (Thursday, May 1, 2025), Canva Code enables users to generate mini applications directly within the platform just by typing their ideas in plain text. The feature automatically transforms input into interactive tools that can be embedded in presentations, documents, websites, and more.
Users can not only build prototypes but also easily iterate their design. If the result doesn’t match expectations, they can simply rephrase their command to adjust it. Canva also allows manual code copying and editing for more advanced customization.
“Canva Code is designed to seamlessly integrate with the entire Canva ecosystem,” the company states, emphasizing that users can now build, design, and share their interactive creations without leaving the platform.
Visual Suite 2.0: AI-Powered Tools in One Creative Package
The launch of Canva Code is part of a major update called Visual Suite 2.0, introduced during Canva’s annual event, Canva Create. Powered by Anthropic’s AI technology, Canva now offers a host of intelligent features, including:
- Interactive Prototypes: Build lightweight games or functional widgets, sharable via direct links.
- Canva AI: A smart assistant that helps create designs, generate documents, and even produce images from text prompts.
- Canva Sheets: A spreadsheet alternative equipped with AI tools like:
- Magic Insights: Automatic data analysis
- Magic Write: Filling empty cells with relevant content
- Magic Formulas: Helping generate formulas quickly
- Translate: Instantly translating columns into multiple languages
- Magic Charts: Turns raw data into beautiful visualizations automatically.
- New Photo Editor: Enhanced by Canva’s acquisition of Leonardo.Ai in 2024, it includes:
- Background Generator: Creates four background variations from a single image
- Foreground Editor: Lets users edit, recolor, resize, or remove specific objects with precision
These features reaffirm Canva’s mission to make design easier and smarter for everyone.
Free for All Users—With a Language Requirement
One of the most exciting parts? Canva Code is free for all users—whether on Free, Pro, or Teams plans—provided their language setting is switched to English. This also applies to Enterprise and Education accounts, including K10 students, with access controllable through admin settings.
Canva stated that the rollout would happen gradually over the coming months, encouraging users to stay updated so they don’t miss out.
For organizations, Canva Code comes with admin panel options that allow feature management in line with internal policies.
Merging Code and Visuals: Designing Without Limits
Canva Code is more than just a basic coding tool—it’s a fusion of Canva’s intuitive creative interface with powerful AI. Users can simply type commands like “build a monthly expense calculator,” and Canva Code will generate the application automatically.
While direct code editing isn’t available, users have high flexibility in customizing results through text commands. This makes Canva Code a powerful tool for designers, marketers, and educators to explore interactive creativity—no coding background required.
This approach, called “Code for One”, gives every user a personalized pathway to turn ideas into engaging and functional digital outputs.
Conclusion: The Future of Design Is at Your Fingertips
With Canva Code, the company has effectively blurred the lines between design and development. This innovation allows anyone to create interactive tools and mini apps in seconds, with no need for technical expertise. Supported by Visual Suite 2.0 and cutting-edge AI, Canva continues its mission to democratize digital creativity.
Does this mean the end of traditional coding? Not entirely—but it certainly signals the rise of a new creative paradigm where imagination matters more than syntax.
