Why Does Canva Not Work on iPad?

Last updated on November 16, 2022 @ 3:14 pm

Canva is a great way to make beautiful designs on your computer- but what about when you want to design on your iPad? Unfortunately, Canva does not currently work on iPad. There are a few possible explanations for this:

1. Canva uses Flash

Canva relies on Flash in order to function. However, Apple’s iPad does not support Flash. This means that even if you could download Canva onto your iPad, it would not work. You would just see a blank screen where the design should be.

2. Canva is a web-based app

Another reason why Canva might not work on your iPad is because it is a web-based app. This means that it was designed to be used on a computer, not a mobile device like an iPad. While you can access web-based apps on an iPad, they often don’t work as well as they do on a computer.

PRO TIP: Canva is a popular design tool that can be used to create graphics for social media, marketing materials, and more. However, it does not work on iPad. This is likely because Canva is a Flash-based tool and iPad does not support Flash.

3. Canva isn’t optimized for touch screens

Canva was designed to be used with a mouse and keyboard, not a touch screen. This means that the app isn’t optimized for use on an iPad and you might have difficulty using it. Even if you could get it to work, it would probably be quite frustrating.
