Canva Code 2.0 brings visual editing and HTML imports

Canva has unveiled Canva Code 2.0, a coding tool the company says can build websites, apps, and interactive experiences from prompts, then let users edit them visually inside Canva’s editor.

The update expands on Canva AI 2.0, which the company introduced a few months ago as a unified conversational interface for design, automation, and content creation built on Canva’s Proteus, Lucid Origin, and I2V generative image and video models.

With Canva Code 2.0, users can start from a prompt, pick from more than 50 new templates, or import HTML to keep working on pages originally created with other platforms and assistants. The platform also adds real-time collaboration, and Canva says it ties directly into its broader design toolset to help teams keep projects aligned with their brand.

Canva described the pitch this way:

“Canva Code sits inside the same intuitive editor where you already house your brand kit. You can manually tweak your creation directly in the Canva Editor like any other design, or use Canva AI to prompt edits. It’s easy to swap in your own images by dragging directly from Canva’s built-in library, update colors and fonts through the familiar toolbar, click into any section to retype text directly, or select a specific element to refine with conversational AI. The result is an interactive experience that works and looks like it came from you.”

Publishing options include either a custom domain or a free Canva domain. According to the company, finished projects are fully interactive, adapt automatically to different screen sizes, and can be previewed on mobile before they go live.
