Canva, the visual communications platform, announced a significant expansion to its suite of artificial intelligence (AI) features, extending language support for its conversational AI assistant. Launched in April 2025, the Canva AI tool, previously limited to English, is now available in 16 new languages, including major global languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, and Spanish.

This expansion allows the platform’s massive user base, which recently hit the 240 million global users milestone while generating over $3.3 billion in annualized revenue, to access and operate the various AI tools in their native tongues. Users can now write prompts in any of the supported languages—which also include Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese—and receive output. The AI assistant will also respond and generate output from verbal requests in the supported languages.
The company stressed that this update goes beyond simple translation, noting that Canva AI is now proficient in 31 locals. This capability allows the AI to understand local conventions and cultural nuances, generating more contextually accurate outputs based on regional user prompts.
Here’s what Canva said on the update:
Expanding upon the locale expansion, the company stated: “Someone in Tokyo asking for a professional presentation will see Canva AI consider Japanese design sensibilities, or someone in Mumbai requesting a festive poster will see Canva AI draw from culturally-relevant visual elements.”
The platform’s AI tools have seen rapid adoption, being used more than 20 billion times since launch, making them one of Canva’s fastest-growing offerings. Canva AI’s functionalities include generating designs and images, drafting documents, writing front-end focused code, and creating video clips powered by Google’s Veo 3 AI model. These features are available as a premium offering across all of Canva’s subscriptions.
