If you’re designing in Canva and suddenly see the message “Offline, attempting to reconnect…”, it means Canva has lost connection and is trying to restore it. This error shows up in the editor status bar and can stop your work from saving properly or prevent you from downloading your design.
Most of the time, this happens because of unstable or no internet connection on your end. But sometimes, it’s caused by server issues on Canva’s side.
Here’s how to fix the Canva trying to reconnect error and avoid losing your work.
1. Check Your Internet Connection
A weak or disconnected internet connection is the most common reason for this error.
- Double-check that your device is connected to the internet.
- Refresh your internet connection or switch to another Wi-Fi network.
When your connection comes back, the editor should show “All changes saved.”
2. Check Canva’s Server Status
Sometimes, the reconnecting message appears even if your own internet connection is fine. In that case, the issue could be with Canva’s servers.
- Visit the Canva Status page.
- If it says All Systems Operational, Canva is working normally, and the problem may be on your end.
- If there’s an ongoing issue listed, you may need to wait until Canva resolves it.
3. Save Your Work
If you’ve made changes to your design while seeing the reconnecting error, you’ll want to make sure nothing is lost. You can quickly copy everything on your page:
- Press Command + A (Mac) or Ctrl + A (Windows) to select all elements on the page.
- Press Command + C (Mac) or Ctrl + C (Windows) to copy them.
- Press Command + V (Mac) or Ctrl + V (Windows) to paste them into a new page or document if needed.
This helps keep a backup of your work until Canva reconnects and saves your changes.
4. Refresh Your Browser
Sometimes, simply refreshing your browser can solve temporary issues. You can also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. Be aware this might log you out of other websites.
5. Try Another Browser or Device
If the error continues, try using Canva on a different browser or device to see if the issue goes away.
Whether the “Canva trying to reconnect” error happens because of your internet connection or Canva’s servers, following these steps should help you avoid losing your work and get back to designing smoothly.
