Canva is a popular tool that is used for creating designs around the world. Canva has launched a new update called Visual Suite 2.0, and its main new feature is Canva Code. Canva announced it on April 10, 2025.

This uses AI to help people make websites without any prior knowledge of coding.

Canva’s goal is to bring all the features like designing, coding, and other tools to one place where people can work together.

Canva has over 230 million users every month and wants to help more people, from small businesses to big companies to create websites without difficulty.

Canva Code is part of a bigger set of tools, including:

• Canva AI (a voice assistant to help with design),
• Canva Sheets (a smart spreadsheet tool),
• Magic Charts, and
• Visual Suite in One Design.

Canva is using more and more AI in their services like other companies, They are working with Anthropic to make their coding tool smarter.

With Canva Code, users can make things like websites, calculators, and maps just by typing simple prompts.

This is a big shift from the old way of writing long lines of code.
