Filipino Canva users were feeling stressed when Canva went down on Tuesday, November 12. Many Filipinos couldn’t finish their work or school projects because the popular design website was suddenly inaccessible. When users tried to log in, they were met with error messages like “temp block,” disrupting both work and school assignments.
One Filipino user posted on Facebook, saying, “Canva’s down just when I got my design approved for printing!” Others shared their frustrations on X (formerly Twitter), like one person who wrote, “Come on, Canva! I still have work to finish!”
With Canva down, some users joked about going back to using Adobe Photoshop instead. Many were anxious, wondering if they were the only ones experiencing the issue. One user wrote, “Is everyone else panicking too? #CanvaDown.”
As of Thursday afternoon, Canva reported it was “working quickly” to get the site back up and was slowly restoring access. Canva’s outage didn’t just affect users in the Philippines but worldwide, as people everywhere waited for their favorite design tool to return. Canva, known for helping people create graphics, videos, logos, and more, has become a go-to tool, even preferred over Adobe Photoshop by many.
