If your Canva design is downloading differently, it's often due to format or resolution settings. To fix this, ensure you've selected the appropriate file format (JPEG, PNG, PDF) for your needs. Adjusting the download quality options can also help, especially if the issue is related to print vs. web quality. Check if any elements are outside the page margins, as they may not appear in the downloaded design. If problems persist, try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser.
