The main story

Canva is now in ChatGPT: create designs without switching programs

You can now have an AI conversation create, adjust and translate a Canva design, using your own colours and fonts.

Canva now works together with ChatGPT. You ask in plain language for a social post, a presentation or an advert, and you get a Canva design back right away. You can then view, edit and translate it in the same conversation. It also works with your Brand Kit, so with your own colours, fonts and style. That saves time on visual work that often needs to be done in batches.

What this means for you
A faster series of posts, keeping your own style

If you work a lot for clients with a fixed house style, this is gold for the boring part: ten variants of an announcement, a set of social posts, an advert in two languages. You have the rough versions made and keep control yourself over taste and composition. Always add your Brand Kit, so the colours and font are right from the start. And check every image for odd details before you share it.
