Picsart Drafts Missing or Project Lost
Workaround available iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Picsart only keeps unfinished edits you save as drafts, and crashes, updates or clearing app data can wipe unsaved work. Check Profile > Drafts, and save drafts before closing the app.
Most likely fix: Look in Drafts.
Symptoms
A project disappears after the app crashed, updated or was closed; drafts are empty; layered work is gone.
Why it happens
- Edit wasn't saved as a draft before closing
- App closed during an update
- Crash during heavy layering
- Cleared app data or reinstalled
