You might not need to do the heavy lifting the next time you have design work on hand.Anthropic has unveiled Claude Design, a "research preview" that uses the Opus AI model (4.7) to craft designs — potentially complete ones, depending on what you need.Claude Design can use a text prompt to build what you need based on a description, but it can also draw on existing code, files, and web content to make sure the design reflects your branding.
From there, you can use sliders and other controls to fine-tune aspects like color, layout, and spacing.You can export the work as web links or files (including for Canva), and send it to Claude Code if you need programming.The system can produce basics like mockups and presentation slides, but it can also make interactive app prototypes, marketing content, and code-powered tests with 3D, video, voice, and their own AI.
You'll need a Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise subscription to use Design, and you'll need to enable extra usage if you reach your plan's monthly limits.The feature should be available to everyone, although Enterprise customers will need to enable it before staff can use it.How does Claude Design compare with Firefly AI and Canva AI?

Claude Design already works with Canva, but Anthropic says it will offer easier integrations in the "coming weeks." As such, this preview is mainly for regular professional Claude users (particularly ones using Code) rather than creatives who have specific tools and well-established workflows.
