Popular graphic design platform Canva faced widespread technical issues across India today, with thousands of users reporting problems related to server errors, failed downloads, and login difficulties.

According to early reports, users began facing issues around mid-day, when Canva started showing “Server Error” messages while loading designs or exporting files. Many professionals and content creators took to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to express frustration, tagging #CanvaDown and #CanvaIndia.

What Users Are Experiencing

• Slow loading or failed design saving
• Download and export errors
• Login and dashboard access issues
• Intermittent connection drops

These issues have disrupted workflow for freelancers, marketers, students, and businesses relying on Canva for daily operations.

Official Response

As of now, Canva has not released an official statement regarding the outage. However, users monitoring the Canva Status Page report “partial disruptions” in several services, including Editor, Brand Hub, and Content Downloading.

Global Impact

While the majority of complaints are from India, some users from Southeast Asia have also reported similar problems. This indicates that the outage may be regional but affecting select global servers.

When Will Canva Be Back?

Technical experts suggest that such outages are usually temporary and may be caused by server maintenance or unexpected load spikes. Canva’s engineering team is expected to resolve the issue soon.
