Canva AI 2.0 Overhaul
Canva is undergoing a massive transformation to become an AI-first platform, introducing new prompt-based editing capabilities for its 100 million users.
The update allows creators to generate and adjust complex designs by describing their vision in natural language, reducing the need for manual tools.
CEO Melanie Perkins stated that the company is focused on profitability and avoiding the large-scale layoffs seen elsewhere in the tech sector.
This overhaul positions Canva as a direct competitor to Adobe's Firefly and other emerging AI design services.
