Canva has announced a range of new tools that it hopes will attract more businesses across a broader spectrum of the industry. And we're not just talking about a light update here: there are six major updates and new tools for subscribers to try out.
New updates to the company's own word processing app, Docs, offering features similar to Google Docs, like comments for better collaboration and version history to improve productivity. The company also wants to point out that users will have access to its own library of over 100 million design assets to help make your documents more visually appealing.
As part of the update, Canva Presentations also got a new remote feature that allows presenters to control their presentation from a compatible device.
New Canva Features
The company has also released its own website builder tool. Users can choose from hundreds of "Responsive Enterprise Level" templates, add their own domains, and add password protection to their sites. Perhaps more interesting for business owners is the Design Insights feature, which allows administrators to view analytics such as page views.
Another feature of this comprehensive update gives workers the ability to import statistics into the data visualization tool to create interactive visualizations. Like the other newly released tools above, default templates are available to make processing as easy as possible.
Also, Canva Video Suite received its own update. Users can now remove backgrounds from videos, which the company says eliminates the need for "big budgets or complex software."
And finally, the new Whiteboards app is designed to promote collaboration through the use of brainstorming, with tools including sticky notes, images and charts, and a built-in timer to help manage sessions.
With a focus on simple and visually-appealing collaboration and productivity tools, it's clear that Canva wants to grow its market share, and from what we can tell, it's on track to introduce its products to more companies.
The company says that seamless visual communications are becoming more important as workplaces become more distributed and communications within those workplaces become more visual.
Offering more tools to get work done allows Canva to be a more streamlined approach, which could lead businesses to cut back on unnecessary subscriptions.
