Canva down: Users unable to upload and edit images

Canva down: Users unable to upload and edit images

Canva, one of the most popular graphic design platforms, is facing a worldwide outage. On DownDetector, an online outage monitoring platform, users started reporting issues with Canva from around 13:30 IST, with the volume of reports rising steadily since. The problems appear to centre on image uploads, with users unable to add new images to their designs or access editing functions. At the time of writing, the platform had recorded 127 reports on DownDetector, with the number continuing to climb. Despite the spike in complaints, the official Canva status page at canvastatus.com shows all systems as operational, with no acknowledgement of any ongoing incident. Users have taken to X to flag the issue directly, with complaints coming in from India and other markets, suggesting this is not limited to a single region.

Canva users report images failing to upload, servers unreachable

Several users have posted about the outage on X, with reports pointing specifically to upload failures and server connectivity issues.

Abhinav Sharma (@LikeAbhinav) wrote: ‘@canva server down? Not able to upload any image!’

Sambrat Chaturvedi (@samjpr) reported: ‘@Canva, your India server is down. Uploads are not working.’

Daily tutorial account @DailyTUT flagged the inconsistency between user experience and official reporting: ‘Canva down? Server status shows all Operational though. Strange.’

The frustration has been particularly acute for users working against deadlines. Sana Kibz (@SanaKibz) posted: ‘Canva, I have 15 mins to submit a task and now your servers are down?!’

Canva has not issued any official statement regarding the outage at the time of publishing. Users experiencing problems will need to wait until the company identifies and resolves the issue. We will update this story as more information becomes available.
