There are a few different ways that you can make a cutout in Canva. One way is to use the ‘Cut out’ tool.

To do this, first, click on the ‘Background’ tab in the left-hand menu. Then, select the ‘Cut out’ tool from the options that appear.

Now, click and drag your cursor around the area that you want to cut out. When you’re happy with your selection, click on the ‘Apply’ button.

Your cutout will now appear on a transparent background. You can add it to another image or background by clicking on the ‘Elements’ tab and then selecting the ‘Uploads’ option.

Another way to make a cutout in Canva is to use the ‘Shape’ tool.

To do this, first, click on the ‘Elements’ tab in the left-hand menu. Then, select the ‘Shape’ tool from the options that appear.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Canva, we suggest that you take some time to familiarize yourself with the platform before attempting to make a cutout. There are a number of ways to make a cutout, but the most common is to use the ‘Crop’ tool.

When using the ‘Crop’ tool, be sure to select the entire image that you want to keep. If you only want to keep part of the image, you can use the ‘Erase’ tool to remove unwanted portions.

Once you have made your selection, click on the ‘Apply’ button and your cutout will be complete!
