Canva Adds Image and Video Comments for Clearer Feedback.

Canva is expanding its design review tools with support for images and videos inside comments, giving collaborators a way to show what they mean instead of relying entirely on written feedback.

The company announced the update on LinkedIn, positioning visual attachments as a way to provide references, recommendations and reactions directly alongside a design. It is a relatively small addition compared with Canva’s recent AI and campaign-management launches, but one that addresses a common source of friction in creative work: ambiguous feedback.

Previously, a reviewer asking for a different visual style might have described it in text, shared a separate link or sent an example through another communication channel. Images and videos can now be added to the comment itself, keeping the reference attached to the relevant conversation.

The feature is useful because design feedback is often easier to demonstrate than explain. A customer could attach a screenshot showing an incorrect layout, while a marketer could provide an example of a competing advertisement or preferred photography style. A short video could provide more context for motion, pacing or the way an asset appears in another environment.

Likely use cases include:

• Creative references: Reviewers can attach examples of colors, compositions or visual styles they want a designer to consider.
• Revision evidence: A screenshot can identify a rendering issue or show where an asset appears incorrectly after publishing.
• Recommendations: Collaborators can share alternative images or visual directions without moving the discussion elsewhere.
• Approval reactions: Teams can use visual responses when a simple text comment does not communicate enough context.

This could be particularly helpful for small businesses, where design reviews frequently involve clients, contractors and employees working across several tools. When a reference arrives through email or Slack, someone must connect it back to the correct file, page and revision. Placing that material inside Canva’s comments should make the decision trail easier to follow.

There is also a practical benefit for asynchronous work. Written requests such as “make this more premium” or “use something closer to the previous campaign” leave substantial room for interpretation. An attached image can narrow that gap immediately, potentially reducing revision rounds and avoiding calls scheduled solely to clarify feedback.

Canva’s brief announcement does not detail attachment size limits, supported image and video formats, storage implications or whether media comments are available on every plan. It also does not specify whether administrators can restrict attachments or how uploaded media is handled when designs are shared with external reviewers.

Those details matter for teams handling client materials or confidential work. Businesses should confirm access permissions before placing sensitive screenshots, unreleased campaign assets or customer information in a comment thread. Visual attachments may make collaboration more convenient, but they should still be treated as part of the design’s shared workspace.

The update does not replace structured approval processes. Teams will still need clear ownership, deadlines and a consistent method for resolving comments. Its value is narrower and more immediate: Canva is making each feedback message capable of carrying the visual evidence needed to act on it.

For small creative teams, that may be enough to remove one more round trip between the design canvas and a separate messaging app.

What are Canva Image and Video Comments?

They allow collaborators to add images and videos directly to comments on Canva designs. The attachments can provide visual references, recommendations, examples or reactions alongside written feedback.

Who are Canva’s visual comments useful for?

They are most relevant to teams, clients and contractors reviewing designs asynchronously. The feature can help when feedback concerns visual style, layout problems, motion or examples that would be difficult to describe precisely in text.

Which Canva plans include image and video comments?

Canva’s announcement did not specify plan requirements, pricing, file limits or supported formats. Users should check availability in their Canva workspace and consult the company’s help resources for account-specific restrictions.
