Canva is doubling down on its productivity bet by taking its platform past 100 new feature launches across Docs, Presentations, Sheets, Whiteboards, and Video since the start of 2026.

“When we launched the Visual Suite, we were planting the seeds for a very different way of working, and a few years later those seeds have grown into a mighty forest,” said Cameron Adams, Canva Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, “We’re incredibly proud to see Canva becoming one of the most widely used productivity suites in the world, as people bring more of their everyday work into Canva. Today marks our 100th new feature launch this year alone, a pace of nearly one Visual Suite upgrade every other day. As we often say, we still feel like we’re only 1% of the way there, and we’re just getting started.”

Canva – 100+ Visual Suite Upgrades

Canva’s productivity growth is increasingly mobile, reflecting how work happens across many of its fastest-growing markets. More than half of Presentations created in Southeast Asia start on a mobile device, rising to nearly three in five in the Philippines and two in three in Indonesia.

Across the Visual Suite, more than half of users work on mobile, with mobile adoption of Canva Websites growing fastest.

The Philippines is among the biggest markets for Visual Suite globally, with over 72% of users creating on mobile. Local adoption extends across the Visual Suite, as the country ranks among the top three markets for Docs, Presentations, and Sheets.

A New Visual Upgrade Nearly Every Other Day

Since the start of 2026, the company has shipped a new Visual Suite upgrade nearly every other day, spanning advanced analytics and data visualization, dynamic visual documents, smarter presentations, collaborative whiteboards, and more powerful video creation.

Canva Docs, launched four years ago, has quickly become the platform’s third-most popular design type, with nearly 1,000 documents now being created every minute. Presentations, on the other hand, is moving even faster with 3,000 created every minute.

One Place for the Whole Project

Most productivity tools still treat a whiteboard, document, spreadsheet, and presentation as separate files.

No matter what stage of the project you’re at, everything sits inside the same Visual Suite. It uses the same simple interface, supports real-time collaboration, and keeps content, data, and brand together. Teams can move through an entire project without ever leaving the platform.

What’s New in the Visual Suite

In response to the growing demand, Canva is rolling out fresh updates, namely:

  • Docs – richer visual layouts and more professional formatting controls. New full-page designs let teams break beyond traditional text layouts with immersive, edge-to-edge visuals
  • Sheets – new ways to format and customize a sheet, and new AI capabilities can analyze data and transform it into polished charts and tables ready to use across presentations and Docs
  • Whiteboards – streamlined panning and mobile pasting make it easy to navigate the Infinite canvas, while Follow Collaborators lets teams jump straight to where someone else is working and one-click reactions make it easy to give feedback and make decisions in real time
  • Presentations – new tools help presenters prepare as well as create, with an estimated presenting timer to plan pacing, one-click presenting to go live instantly, and automatically generated presenter notes
  • Websites – new navigation supports richer sites with up to 20 sections, while SEO, domain controls, and expanded buttons give teams more control.

The latest features are available to all Canva users globally. For more information, visit the official website.
