Canva will provide some advanced applications for Pro and above subscribers, creating new profit opportunities for developers. The company also established a $50 million developer innovation fund to reward developers who participate in monetization programs based on application usage. Applications will be integrated into various functional areas of the platform, such as text, element and photo editors, to improve visibility and usability. At the same time, users can translate application content into the required language to enhance the international experience.
In terms of API, Canva has launched new features such as content query API, design editing API (under testing), authentication API and form API. These APIs will allow developers to create more powerful and flexible applications.
In addition, Canva has also launched Connect API, allowing enterprises to call Canva functions in their own environment. The recently released Canva for Salesforce is a typical application, allowing sales teams to automatically generate presentations using customer data.

Canva has also opened applications for the Leonardo.Ai API to developers to provide support for AI-driven application development. Anwar Haneef, head of Canva ecosystem, said that when building the developer platform, the company fully considered factors such as data sharing, development flexibility and long-term sustainability, and is committed to creating a prosperous application ecosystem.
This series of initiatives demonstrates Canva’s determination to innovate in the field of design tools and is expected to bring users a richer and more powerful creative experience, while providing more opportunities for developers to jointly promote the development of the design tool ecosystem.
The upgrade of Canva's developer platform not only brings richer functions and a more convenient experience to users, but also provides developers with more opportunities and a broader stage. I believe that Canva’s developer ecosystem will become more prosperous in the future, bringing more innovation and vitality to the design field.
