Canva, the creative platform has been unavailable for the last few hours on Tuesday morning. Many users are having issues with saving their designs and even view their work on the website. The company has shared its official status with a post on X and even started an incident report for the outage which started on early Tuesday for users. 

The current status suggests Canva has found a series of issues like: Users are unable to view or save changes to designsUsers of CanvaAI making general knowledge queries or how to use Canva features may see failure messagesRealtime comments may not be working, and will need to refresh the page to see new commentsApplication Notification may not be working, and users will need to refresh page to see new notificationsTimer and follow user on designs may not be working

At the time of writing, Canva was available once again and people are able to save and edit their designs on the platform.

The Downdetector platform did not show massive reports from users in India but it confirms that 64 percent of the complaints are related to Canva running on the web and only 9 percent facing issues with the app. The outage seems to have affected people in the US far more with more than 600 outage reports from users in the region. 

Fair to say that losing Canva this early in the morning will hamper productivity and most people in the US have to wait for their work day to end.
