Picsart Keeps Crashing or Freezing
Workaround available iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Picsart crashes are most often fixed by updating the app (and Android System WebView), clearing the cache and closing other apps. Very heavy layered projects crash more on older devices.
Most likely fix: Update Picsart and restart the phone.
Symptoms
The app closes on launch, freezes when moving a photo or layer, undo hangs, or the app kicks you out and the project is lost.
Why it happens
- Outdated Picsart version
- Outdated Android System WebView (Android)
- Low memory on older iPhones and iPads
- Very large projects with many layers
- Corrupted cache
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Update Picsart and restart the phone
- Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play
- Restart the device before opening Picsart again
2. Update Android System WebView
- Open Google Play and search for Android System WebView
- Tap Update, then reopen Picsart
3. Clear the cache and force stop (Android)
- Settings > Apps > Picsart > Storage > Clear cache
- Tap Force stop, then reopen
- Avoid Clear data unless your work is saved: it can delete unsaved projects
4. Free memory
- Close other apps
- Free storage on the device
5. Lighten the project
