Canva revealed the new “Canva Offline” product feature on Wednesday. It enables its users to design and edit their graphics even without internet connectivity. This offline capability is described by Canva as being the most demanded feature among all Canva users. Offline mode makes sure that projects are managed and developed whether users travel, commute, attend classes, or have poor connectivity. It caters to mobile-first users, students, teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals.

According to Canva in a press statement, the purpose of the new feature is to ensure that connectivity is not a problem for creativity and productivity. The new product feature had been initially unveiled during the Canva Create conference held earlier this year.

As noted by Canva, the new offline mode will enable users to save their work for offline usage. They will be able to continue designing and editing the designs in offline mode until they get the internet. All offline edits will sync when there is internet connectivity.

This feature is available to all Canva users at no additional cost. Canva stated that after enabling offline support, users can create and edit designs for up to 14 days without internet access. To use this feature, users simply need to select the 'Make available offline' option on their design before connecting to the internet.

Furthermore, the company described India as one of its fastest-growing markets and said that the offline mode was designed keeping in mind the needs of mobile-first users. Commenting on the rollout, Rob Kawalsky, Canva's Global Head of Product, said, "Offline mode reflects our commitment to the way India works today: mobile-first, always active, and full of ideas."

This rollout follows the recent launch of the Canva Connected App for Google Gemini, powered by Canva's own Foundation model. Designs created in Gemini can be edited directly within the Canva editor, allowing teams to refine or hand over their work to colleagues without having to start from scratch. This move also integrates Google's Nano Banana image generation model into Canva's Magic Layers feature.
