Welcome, world! | Canva Create 2026

Wow, what a crowd. It is so good to be back with you all for our fifth Canva Create, broadcasting live from the YouTube Theatre here in Hollywood Park. And an extra... That roar is incredible and I need you to do a good one because we need an extra special thanks to our house band, Wolves of Glendale! Wolves, how you doing? We're so stoked to be here. The crowd is unbelievable. Can we make as much noise as we possibly can right now? Yeah! Jeez, when I feel that energy at Hip Canva Create, it reminds me that we truly have the best community in the world. Thank you for being here, whether you are joining us for the very first time or whether you've been creating with us for years. From the very beginning, our mission has been to empower the world to design. And today, more than a quarter of a billion people create with Canva. Individuals, small businesses, classrooms, non-profits and thousands of enterprises across 190 countries. And together, you have now created over 47 billion designs. That is, yes, that's incredible. That is over 463 designs every second. And over the years, you've shown us design looks different for everyone. For some, it's how you grow your business, turning idea into something real that you can share with the world. For others, it's how you teach. Bring lessons to life for your students. For some, it is deeply personal, like designing every detail for a big celebration exactly the way you imagined it. But underneath all of that, every single one of you comes here with the same goal, to turn an idea into reality. For us, design has never just been about making something look good. Design is about giving form to an idea. It's how you turn your imagination into reality. For Canva, creating a design was incredibly complex and fragmented. You had to use one tool to find a template, another to source fonts, another for stock photography, another for editing, and on and on. We thought there was a better way. And we brought everything you need to design into one platform, making it simple and accessible to the whole world. We have always believed that productivity and creativity couldn't live in separate tools, that the magic is in the middle. So for the past decade, we've been bringing them together into one place. But now, we're seeing something familiar again, at a much larger scale. This time, it's not just design. The entire process of creation is broken across too many tools, tabs, and workflows. Think about what it takes to create something today. You might get a great result from an AI tool, but it is one shot. You have to prompt and prompt again. Then you need another tool to manually format it. Now it's completely off-brand because your brand guidelines live in a different place. And your data is scattered across platforms. So you're copying, pasting, copying, pasting, running your 20th AI search, copying and pasting that too. Every time you switch apps, you lose the context, you just build up. And every time the format changes, you start again. And then tomorrow, you do the whole thing over. Does that sound familiar? Well, at Canva, we love to make complex things simple. And just like we did a decade ago, we think there's a better way. This is something our community has been asking for, with so many of you wishing for more ways to use AI to get your jobs done. So already, our AI products have been used more than 27 billion times. Yeah, that's pretty cool. And thanks to all of you awesome people, we have become the third most used AI product in the world, which is ultimately unbelievable. Just as we say, we feel like we are just 1% of the way there. So today, we are incredibly excited to unveil a generational leap forward for Canva. Our biggest launch ever.
