What is it?

Canva's official plugin bundles its connection to Claude with a set of skills for everyday design admin: resizing one design for every social platform at once, applying reviewer comments, making careful edits to an existing design, giving structured feedback, checking a design against your brand kit, and creating many designs from a spreadsheet.

Without it, Claude can talk about design but cannot touch your Canva files. With it, the repetitive parts of social content production happen in one request, and edits wait for your approval before they are saved.

Bulk creation from a spreadsheet relies on brand templates with autofill, which is a Canva Enterprise feature.

Install in Claude Code

In Claude Code run /plugin marketplace add canva-sdks/canva-skills, then /plugin install canva@canva-skills, and sign in to Canva when prompted. It is also listed in Anthropic's directory as canva@claude-plugins-official.
