After a brief outage that affected users around the world, Canva is now back online.

Canva users worldwide cannot access the service at this time. The graphic design tool is experiencing issues that many users say mean the service is completely unavailable. The company’s own tools indicate that the service is down, including the Canva Status Website, which is a useful tool to use when you cannot access the website itself. This confirms that this is an issue that affects many people, not just you.

Canva also confirmed its issues in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) to say that it is aware of the issues users are experiencing. The statement says a fix is in the works, but there’s no clear update on when you’ll be able to access the graphic design tool.

The first report of problems came in at 4:45 a.m. ET on November 12, but some Android Police editors were experiencing issues before then, so it was intermittent even before the service stopped working completely. Canva confirmed shortly after that access was restored after fixing the issue, but this is a slow process, so you may find that the app takes a while to start for you.
