Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Canva Is Down
- 1
Refresh and clear cache
Hard refresh your browser (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R) or clear the app cache to rule out local issues.
- 2
Check design permissions
Verify you have edit access to the design and that team permissions haven't been changed recently.
- 3
Try the mobile app or desktop
If the web version is unresponsive, try the mobile app or desktop version to isolate the issue.
- 4
Disable browser extensions
Ad blockers or privacy extensions can sometimes interfere with Canva. Try disabling them temporarily.
- 5
Check network connectivity
Ensure you're connected to the internet and that firewalls or corporate networks aren't blocking Canva's servers.

If downloads are failing, note your designs and retry exports once the service recovers.

Canva Status FAQ
Is Canva down right now?
Check status.canva.com and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, Canva is likely down for many users.
Why won't my Canva design load?
This often indicates a server-side issue. Try refreshing, clearing cache, or switching devices. Check the status page for active incidents.
Why can't I download my Canva design?
Download failures can occur during outages or degraded performance. Wait a few minutes and retry, or check the status page for export-related incidents.
Is Canva Pro affected differently than Free?
Major outages affect all tiers equally, though Pro features like AI tools may be prioritized during recovery.
