What does Canva do?
Canva is a Claude connector that works with the designs in your Canva account. Claude can search your designs, read their pages and text, and summarize them. It can generate a new design, import one from a URL and export a design in the formats Canva offers. Its tools also create folders, move items into them, list folder contents and add comment threads to a design. The page describes it as a design agent for making visuals inside your Claude workflow.
