The last Gimp 2.10.8 installer to download
https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gim...etup-2.exe

comes from here:  https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gim...0/windows/

I did see the Canva file sizes and limits but worth asking the question. They also take png format.

Thanks so much for your input! 
After working with it and experimenting for the last few hours I have discovered its NOT the different version of GIMP.  I took the Tiff. file to the old laptop and saved it as a .JPG in GIMP and the same Canva problem occured. 

It seems the problem is the original .Tiff files that I scanned of my artwork.  The old ones i scanned pre-December work great and export as .JPG's and upload to Canva no problem.  The new ones that I scanned in December don't work, no matter how many i try.  The ONLY difference is that i changed the DPI scanning from 360 to 300. (and I made the dimensions bigger which made the file size bigger from 300MB to 600MB but that shouldn't make a difference because when i convert it to JPG i compress it to a smaller file size.)  

Do you have any thoughts on how a scanned .Tiff file opened in GIMP and exported as JPG is now no longer being recognized as compatible in Canva from December on? It just seems SO weird, how could a converted .Tiff to JPG no longer work?  I can succesfully save the older .Tiffs (pre-December) in GIMP and they upload to Canva just fine.  Very mysterious? :-)
