We’ve also added a new “Microsoft Word Application Supported” filter to our Graphic Templates search, making it much easier to discover templates that work seamlessly with Microsoft Word.

We’re also excited to announce the launch of our brand new Envato sub-category, Social Media Templates. Our new Social Media Templates sub-category streamlines Elements search, putting all our stunning social media templates in one convenient place.

We have some exciting new additions coming soon to our Canva app – including an iconic AI feature that we think you’ll love – so keep a look out for updates!

Want to use the magic of AI to optimize your search results? Elements’ AI-assisted Search tool improves the relevance of search results to help you find exactly what you’re looking for – faster. 

Elements’ AI Search speeds up your workflow by finding relevant assets across Envato Elements, tailoring search results to your taste, and elevating your work. If you’re looking for multiple assets, AI-assisted Search is designed to streamline your workflow, helping you discover the perfect assets for your projects faster. Try it out on Elements now!

Behind-the-scenes advances in AI are now enabling the technology to provide more accurate interpretations of content – for example, AI can now quickly analyze a photo and precisely recognize the image and what it represents. Elements’ Vector Search now leverages this exciting technology to improve the relevance of search results whenever you browse the Elements photo library. 

To get the most out of Vector Search, it helps to be as specific and detailed as possible about what you’re looking for to return the most accurate results. For example, try searching for: 

This feature’s technology understands semantics and context far better than lexical search, making your photo search experience faster, swifter, and easier, allowing you to get maximum value from the Elements photo library. So, what are you waiting for? Head to Envato Elements to find the perfect photo for your project today! 

Love the audio featured in your favorite video template? Save time searching for the perfect track by downloading it directly from the video item page!

We’ve made it easier for creators to find music tracks for their videos. Suggested Elements music tracks will now be displayed alongside Video Templates, allowing users to quickly and effortlessly download tracks featured in the video preview without searching for them. In addition to saving a ton of time searching for the right music track for their project, this handy feature assists users in finding audio that complements their chosen items perfectly.

Providing users with a personalized experience, Curated Collections feature Elements’ highest quality content – handpicked just for you. Carefully selected by our Elements team based on item quality, relevance, and popularity, Curated Collections are designed to save you time and effort searching for the hottest new content and encourage you to explore and discover new items and content types you might not have considered to further diversify your projects.

Collections also help video creators find complementary assets to complete their video projects faster, containing everything from music tracks and sound effects to video templates.

Want to view more videos faster? Previewing videos has never been easier with Elements’ new Video Scrubber. Designed to streamline finding the perfect video for your project, this new feature allows video creators to swiftly “scrub” through video previews. It provides a quick, convenient way for users to vet videos and simplifies finding the right videos for their projects.

Previously, users had to hover their mouse over the video and sit through the entire preview. Now, users can easily scrub backward and forward at their own pace, making the preview process quicker, more convenient, and more user-friendly.

We all have a “type”! Save time searching for similar items with our new related-items feature, which surfaces relevant items related to your recent Envato Elements downloads.

Providing a more personalized experience, our related items feature presents you with complementary recommendations to help you discover new category types, authors, or content aligned with your project – that you may not have found otherwise!

Also great for sparking inspiration for the next phase of your creative project, related items provide a quick and convenient way to discover and access the perfect assets for your projects, helping you complete them more efficiently.

Want to browse through similar search items without stunting your scrolling? Now you can! Our new “similar” icon – displayed on item cards – opens a sidebar showcasing similar items, enabling you to seamlessly browse search results and similar items without leaving your search journey.

Saving you time and effort, this feature helps you conveniently discover similar assets without losing your place in search results or hunting them down yourself. It also allows you to explore a broader range of assets, increasing the chances of finding exactly what you need by quickly comparing options – leading to faster decision-making and better-aligned item choices.
