Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 8:08 pm

Have you ever looked at a photo and wished you could blur the background to focus on the subject? Well, with Canva’s easy-to-use design tools, you can do just that! In this article, we’ll show you how to blur the background of your images in Canva.

First, open up Canva and sign in or create an account. Then, click on the “Create a design” button.

Next, select “Blank” from the list of design options. This will give you a blank canvas to work with.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Canva, we recommend that you do not attempt to blur the background. Blurring the background can result in a loss of image quality.

Now, upload the image that you want to edit by clicking on the “Uploads” tab and selecting the file from your computer. Once the image is uploaded, drag and drop it onto the canvas.

To blur the background, click on the “Effects” tab and then select “Gaussian Blur.” You can adjust the amount of blur by dragging the slider to the left or right.

Once you’re happy with the amount of blur, click on the “Apply” button. And that’s it! You’ve successfully blurred the background of your image in Canva.

Now that you know how to blur the background of your images in Canva, experiment with different amounts of blur to see what looks best. Have fun!
