Popular design platform Canva is currently experiencing a significant outage, preventing users from accessing its services.

According to reports from an online outage tracking site, over 400 users have already reported issues, with the number continuing to grow. The main problem seems to be with uploading images and files, making it difficult for users to work on their designs and projects.

The outage appears to be affecting users worldwide, with many sharing their frustrations and seeking updates on social media. The disruption has caused delays for creators, businesses, and students who rely on Canva for their work.

In response, Canva acknowledged the issue and assured users that their engineering team is actively working to fix the problem. They also promised to keep everyone informed about the progress.
