Are you looking to remove the background from an image in Canva? Whether you’re designing a social media post, a presentation, or any other visual content, knowing how to delete the background can make a significant difference in the overall look and feel of your design. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of removing the background from an image in Canva, step by step.
Step 1: Upload or Import the Image
First, you’ll need to have the image you want to edit in Canva. You can either upload an image from your computer or import one from a URL. To upload an image, click on the “Uploads” button in the left-hand menu, then drag and drop the image into the workspace or click “Upload” to browse for the file.
Step 2: Drag and Drop the Image onto the Canvas
Once the image is uploaded, drag and drop it onto your canvas. You can resize and position the image as needed before proceeding to the next step.
Step 3: Select the Image
Click on the image to select it. Once selected, you’ll see a series of options appear around the image, including the “Edit” button, which looks like a pencil.
Step 4: Click on the “Edit” Button
Click on the “Edit” button to open the image editing menu. This will allow you to make various adjustments to the image, including removing the background.
Step 5: Use the Magic Eraser Tool
In the image editing menu, you’ll find the “Magic Eraser” tool. This tool is designed to quickly and easily remove the background from an image. Click on the “Magic Eraser” tool to select it.
Step 6: Adjust the Brush Size and Hardness
Before using the Magic Eraser, you may want to adjust the brush size and hardness to suit your needs. The brush size determines how large or small the area you’re erasing will be, while the hardness setting determines how sharp or soft the edges of the erased area will be.
Step 7: Erase the Background
With the Magic Eraser tool selected and the brush size adjusted, click and drag over the background of the image to remove it. The tool will automatically detect and remove the background, leaving the subject of the image intact.
Step 8: Save Your Changes
Once you’re satisfied with the background removal, click “Save” to apply the changes to your image. You can now use the image with the transparent background in your Canva design.
