Today, we’re doing what we believe the design industry has needed for a long time.We’re making the entire Canoa platform free—for everyone. No tiers. No upgrades. No feature gates.Just full access to the tools and data that designers need, and the visibility that brands deserve.

In the world of design, creativity should never be hampered by tedious data entry. Yet, so many designers find themselves spending countless hours on the least enjoyable part of their workflow: copying, pasting, and formatting product information from various websites.Today, we're thrilled to announce a game-changing addition to Canoa's suite of AI-powered design tools: our new Web Clipper feature that automatically extracts structured product data from any URL.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at our development process as CTO Nicolas Chaulet explains how he developed Canoa's new wall feature.

Browse individual brands or search across their entire catalogs to quickly find exactly what you're looking for. Navigate collections with ease while keeping your favorite items organized in a single, convenient location. Combined with the web clipper, these enhancements make product discovery and management more efficient than ever.
