How Do I Remove the Background of an Image in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 2:14 pm

There are a few different ways to remove the background of an image in Canva. The first way is to use the Background Remover tool.

To use the Background Remover tool:

1. Select the image you want to edit. 2. Click on the Background tab in the editor sidebar. 3. Select the Background Remover tool.

4. Use the mouse to draw a line around the object you want to keep. 5. Click on the green checkmark when you’re done. 6. Canva will automatically remove the background from your image.

Another way to remove the background from an image is to use a transparent background. This can be done by selecting a PNG file as your background image when creating your design. PNG files have a transparent background by default, so when you add one of these files to your design, the background will automatically be removed.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, removing the background of an image in Canva can result in losing some of the image data. Make sure to save a backup copy of your image before starting.

To use a transparent background:

1. Create a new design or open an existing one. Click on the Background tab in the editor sidebar and select Add Image from Canva’s library of free stock photos, or upload your own image file from your computer by clicking on Upload Image.

3. Choose a PNG file from Canva’s library or upload your own PNG file from your computer by clicking on Upload Image. 4. Your image will now have a transparent background!
