Canva has recently empowered its workforce of over 5,000 employees by integrating Claude for Work, an AI assistant from Anthropic. Since mid-2024, Claude has seen rapid adoption across different teams at Canva, from engineers to product managers, becoming a popular tool for accelerating design, prototyping, coding, and content creation.
The introduction of Claude into Canva’s workflow democratizes design prototyping, allows employees without specialized skills to create and test templates quickly. Engineers benefit from Claude’s strong code generation, while business teams utilize it to independently design new solutions. The product managers and designers appreciate features like Projects, which help maintain consistent brand design language and promote collaboration. Samantha Garrett from Canva’s AI Solutions team highlights how employees have enthusiastically embraced Claude.

Earlier in July 2025, Anthropic revealed a new integration that lets users create, modify, and manage Canva designs right from Claude’s chat interface, using natural language prompts. This integration, powered by Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), lets users generate presentations, resize images, autofill templates, and search Canva projects through Claude without switching apps. This feature adds to Claude’s increasing ecosystem of integrations with prominent tools such as Notion, Figma, and Stripe, establishing it as a productivity aid.
Users need to subscribe to both Canva (beginning at $15/month) and Claude (about $17/month) to have access, indicating an enterprise-focused approach to AI-powered design workflows. While the feature simplifies many routine tasks, users should note that prompt quality affects output, and some advanced design adjustments may still require manual intervention in the Canva platform.
