What if you could go from brand assets to a full ad set in under 5 minutes?
I tested Canva Grow 2.0 from a client's perspective, using the brand identity and website we built for Dulce Oro, a premium agave spirits brand, as the foundation.
The idea was simple: could a client take their existing brand assets and spin up social ad creative without starting from scratch every time?
The output was honestly impressive. On-brand visuals, solid layouts, a full ad set in minutes. For a freelancer, this is the kind of tool that could genuinely expand what you offer clients without adding hours to your workflow.
But here's where I think it still needs work:
The website link sharing didn't pull any context for the AI. PDFs can't be uploaded, so I had to work with images instead. Also, it would have been just the perfect system within canva if they could upload custom fonts, so that brand-specific typography won't get lost in translation.
For clients with strong brand identities, these gaps can be filled to make Canva Grow the ultimate choice. Because the creative is only as good as the brand inputs it's working with.
The walkthrough is in the video above, including where it surprised me and where I had to work around it.
Are you building ad creative for clients inside a single tool yet, or are you still juggling five different platforms to get there?
GREAT pointers Chhavi! If Canva gets the upload fonts feature, it would be a game changer.
This is my personal branding banner created in Canva. It reflects my passion for book cover design and content writing with a clean, aesthetic, and minimal style. This project represents my creative identity as an aspiring author and designer.
I specialize in creating high-quality, print-ready merchandise designs for apparel and POD products. My work focuses on clean typography, eye-catching illustrations, and marketable concepts for t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and other merchandise. I deliver original, commercial-ready designs optimized for DTG, screen printing, and digital marketplaces, with attention to composition, color harmony, and print quality.
I love this, 100% also my plan 😂
