Canva updates design assistant with brand-aware animation presets

Design · 2 min read

When a user uploads brand assets, the assistant analyzes logo, color palettes, and type and suggests animation presets that maintain brand rhythm—timing, easing, and transitions tuned to the brand’s visual language. Presets are applied across templates for social posts, banners, and hero animations.

The feature also exposes adjustable motion tokens (duration, delay, ease) so teams can fine-tune behavior without starting from scratch. Generated animations are exportable as optimized web video or Lottie JSON for use across platforms.

Canva positions this as a productivity improvement for marketing teams that need quick, branded motion assets. They also highlighted that the assistant minimizes excessive motion and ensures accessible animation durations.
