Fix Trouble loading Features Canva

If you are facing download, upload, download or any kind of problems while using Canva, you can solve them in the following ways.

  1. Check your Internet connection
  2. Downtime test
  3. Check file size and elements
  4. Logout and login method
  5. Clear cookies and cache
  6. Try in another browser
  7. Check your account capacity
  8. Check file name and extension
  9. Make sure the file is not corrupted
  10. Use Canva in Incognito mode or disable web extensions

Let’s go into the details of each method.

1]Check your internet connection

Canva is a SaaS program that requires good internet to work on designs, upload media, or download designs. Without a stable internet connection, you cannot do anything on Canva. Make sure that the internet is working fine and then try using Canva for your designs.

2] Check the dead time

As said earlier, Canva is a Saas program that needs a good internet connection to connect to its server, where all your data as well as Canva’s data is stored and served to you. If there is downtime or the server is not responding to your request for any reason, you need to check the Canva Status. There, you’ll get detailed information about Canva and how it works across devices.

3]Check file size and elements

If the files you are trying to upload or download are large, it will take time for them to download completely. If the design has more pages, you can load them in sections to cut down on waiting times. In addition, if the number of elements in the design or video is more, it will take longer to process and save the design. You must wait until the process is complete. Make sure your videos are 30 minutes or less, if possible, and in 1080p (1920×1080) quality to download them quickly. Also, try to split the files for faster download.

4]Logout and login method

Whenever we have a problem with an application or service that we use, logging out and in will fix most of the problems. This also applies to Canva. Sign out of Canva and sign back in to see if the problem is fixed.

5]Clear cookies and cache

If you are using Canva in a web browser, you may experience download or upload issues on Canva if the website data is corrupted. You need to clear your cookies and cache and try using Canva again. It will not delete any design data associated with your Canva account.

6]Try in another browser

If the error is still not resolved, you need to try using Canva in another browser. You don’t lose any data while changing browsers because everything is saved using Canva. Sign in and use Canva in another browser and see if it fixes the problem.

7]Check your account storage

If you’re experiencing upload errors on Canva, it could also be memory issues. Canva offers different storage spaces depending on its plan. If you are a free user, you can only upload files up to 5GB in size. You’ll need to delete old files so you can upload more once your limit is reached, or buy a Canva Pro plan where you’ll get up to 100GB of space. Enterprise users get unlimited storage space.

8]Check file name and extension

You cannot upload PSD files or TIFF files. You can only upload files that match the upload requirements set forth by Canva.

9]Make sure the file is not corrupted

If the file you’re trying to upload is corrupted or damaged, you can’t upload it to Canva. Damaged or corrupted files or misnamed file formats will not upload. See if you can access the file on your PC or device and try uploading the file again.

10]Use Canva in Incognito mode or disable web extensions

If you’re having issues with Canva download, upload, or upload issues, try using it after disabling the web extension in your browser. They may be interfering with the Canva website and creating a conflict. Or use Canva in Incognito or Private mode and see if it fixes the problem. Alternatively, you can download the Canva app from the Microsoft store and use it on your PC.
