Claude Design connects to Adobe, Canva, and more tools now.

Claude Claude

Anthropic just rolled out a big update to Claude Design, its AI-powered visual creation tool that first launched in research preview. The tool already lets you turn a simple prompt into prototypes, decks, and marketing assets, and now it does even more.

The latest update brings design system support, a smooth handoff to Claude Code, a redesigned editor, and a bunch of new app integrations.

Your brand guidelines now drive what Claude builds

The biggest change is a rebuilt design system import. You can now import one or multiple design systems from GitHub repositories, design files, or uploaded assets. Claude Design will build using those approved components and automatically check its output against the design system before showing it to you.

For larger organizations, admins can approve a single design system and lock it for company-wide use, so every project stays on brand.

Anthropic is also bringing Claude Design and Claude Code closer together. Teams can now sync design systems directly from a local codebase using a new command /design-sync. Once a design is ready, it can be handed off to Claude Code without rebuilding it from scratch.

Developers can also access Claude Design features from the terminal using the /design command, allowing them to create, edit, import, and export design projects without leaving their development workflow.

A revamped editor and more places to send your work

Anthropic has rebuilt the editor, too. There are new controls to drag, resize, and align elements directly on the canvas. Claude Design now also shares usage limits with chat, Cowork, and Claude Code, so most people get more room before hitting any cap.

Claude Design is also expanding its integrations. Users can now export projects to PDF and PowerPoint, while new connections with Adobe, Canva, Gamma, Lovable, Miro, Replit, Vercel, Wix, and other platforms make it easier to continue work across different tools.

You can try it out at claude.ai/design or find it right in the sidebar of the Claude desktop app.
