Claude Design Explained: What It Is and How It Works

On October 8, Anthropic announced that Claude Docs, Slides, and Design are out of beta and available on every Claude plan, including Free. You describe what you want in a chat, Claude builds it on a canvas, and you refine it with chat, inline comments, or direct edits before exporting to PDF, PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Claude Code. Design shares the same usage limits as the rest of Claude, while Dashboards (paid plans) and Motion (Team and Enterprise) are in beta. The standalone Claude Design site closes on December 14, 2026, so migrate your design systems from the Artifacts page. Chats and comments don't carry over, so download the projects you need before then.
