Canva heeft versie 3.2.0 van de Affinity uitgebracht. De Affinity Suite bestond voorheen uit de betaalde programma's Photo, Designer en Publisher, die als de tegenhanger werden beschouwd van Adobe's Photoshop, Illustrator en InDesign. Vanaf versie 3.0.0 zijn alle applicaties samengevoegd in één enkele app, die gratis wordt aangeboden. Wel is er een gratis Canva-account nodig om de software te kunnen gebruiken. Voor enkele functies, waaronder generatieve AI, is wel een Canva Premium-abonnement nodig. Affinity is beschikbaar voor Windows en macOS; aan de iOS-uitvoering wordt nog gewerkt. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende verbeteringen aangebracht:
