Users can integrate Claude AI into their design process

  • Claude AI can now streamline design tasks for you
  • It can create presentations, fill premade templates automatically, and resize images
  • But you'll need a paid Canva subscription to access any of these features

If you're a designer who uses Canva regularly in your projects, you now have access to Claude AI features with a paid subscription.

This includes having the power to form presentations, fill premade templates automatically, and resize images with fewer steps in the process. This allows you to now type in prompts using to Claude to complete design tasks linked to their Canva account.


With Claude now integrating seamlessly with Canva, it gains a competitive edge over its largest rival, ChatGPT, which has 180 million users compared to Claude’s nearly 20 million.

The use of Claude also allows you to search and summarise keywords in Canva docs, presentations, and templates with Claude's AI platform.

“Instead of uploading or manually transferring ideas, users can now generate, summarize, review, and publish Canva designs, all within a Claude chat,” Anwar Haneef, Head of Canva's Ecosystem told The Verge.

Canva is able to provide this ability for users with their Model Context Protocol (MCP), which launched last month. This allows for users to connect their AI assistants to the platform seamlessly and securely.

Claude integrates with other platforms

Canva, however, isn't the first platform to integrate with the AI service. In fact, users can connect to several other popular services such as Zapier, Cloudflare, Intercom, Asana, Square, PayPal, Linear, and Plaid.

In a race to merge more of these platforms together, companies are creating more adept ways for you increase efficiency through automation, improve decision-making through data-backed analysis, and enhance customer experiences.

As a result, AI can potentially reduce costs and optimize the allocation of other resources.

Best AI tips for Canva integration

To get the best use out of integrating Claude to Canva, users can apply these steps in their design process
  • Be specific by listing necessary details like colours, text, design names, and dimensions
  • Utilise brand assets to keep design themes consistent
  • Keep organised by clearly labelling and using folders with design assets
  • Start with small requests and refine the designs during follow-up chats

Canva free vs paid subscription

In addition to Claude's AI features, users also benefit with unlimited access to premium and customizable templates. Their media library also includes millions of photos, videos, graphics, and audio assets. To assist with consistent branding in user design projects, brand kits are available to manage logos and company specific colours. For those who work with several large projects at once, users are granted 1TB of storage for designs and assets.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

The free subscription, on the other hand, gives access to a limited library of free professionally designed templates as well as access to select photos, videos, and graphics. Users with the free subscription also only have access to 5GB of storage, where it may be a good option for those who only need the platform for smaller projects.

A paid subscription to Canva costs users £10.99 per month.
