Last updated on December 3, 2022 @ 10:12 pm

Adding a transparent background to your Canva design is easy! With Canva’s advanced editing tools, you can choose from a library of pre-made transparent images or easily create your own.

To add a transparent background to your image:

    1. Start by opening Canva and selecting the template you wish to use. For this tutorial, we’ll be using a blank canvas.

    2. Upload your image into the template. You can do this by clicking the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand panel and selecting the image file from your computer.

    3. Once your image is uploaded, click on it to select it. Then, click the “Edit” button in the top toolbar.

    4. In the “Edit” menu, select “Background” and then “Transparent” from the drop-down menu.

    5. Your image will now have a transparent background! You can then add it to your design as usual.
