Open on GitHubWhat canva does
This plugin links your Canva account to the Codex environment, letting you tweak visuals with conversational instructions. Tagging @Canva lets you swap images, adjust copy, move elements, or reformat one design for LinkedIn and Instagram in a single pass.
It evaluates artwork for readability and visual hierarchy, or cross-checks colors, fonts, and logos against your Brand Kit. When review notes exist, the plugin reads comment threads and applies the requested modifications.
Batch production from spreadsheet data strictly requires a Canva Enterprise tier. A linked Canva account is mandatory before running any task. You can still launch the standard Canva web editor whenever you want manual precision on the canvas.

- resize an asset for Instagram and LinkedIn simultaneously
- generate creative batches from spreadsheet data using brand templates
- modify copy, imagery, and layout positioning in existing designs
- inspect colors, typography, and logos against Brand Kit rules
- apply visual updates directly from design comment threads
Example prompts for the agent
