How to Remove Background in Canva on Desktop:

1. Open Canva and sign up for the free trial of Canva Pro.
2. Click on the “Upload” option at the top and open the image you want to remove the background from. You can also click on the “Create a design” option at the top. Then choose the desired template (box, rectangle, or based on a social media platform). Once the template opens you can simply drag drop the image here.

3. Once the image is uploaded, you can click on the image and a toolbox will open at the top. Click on the “Edit Photo” option.

4. A panel of options will open on the left-hand side. Click on “Effects” then “BG Remover”.

5. Just one click on “BG Remover” will do the job in 2 seconds. And if anything else is remaining on the edges of the subject, you can get that with the “Magic Eraser” option. You can also use the “Adjustment” icon on top of the “BG Remover” tool like shown in the image below.

6. Once you have removed the background of a picture on Canva you can just click on the “Share” button at the top and save in whichever format and resolution you prefer.

7. So choose a File type, size, and quality as per your requirement and download the image to save it on your laptop.

How to Remove Background in Canva on Mobile:

1. First of all, download the “Canva” app. Sign up and register for the Canva Pro free trial.
2. Then you can click on the “+” button at the bottom centre and it will give you a set of template options to choose from. Once selected it will open a blank template. At the bottom if you scroll to the right you will see an option named ‘Uploads’. Click on it and upload media from your device.
   Pro tip: if you are uploading a logo it is important a high-res image to have a clear image when removing the background. Try using a free logo creator that provides a variety of sizes and resolutions.

3. Then once the image is open, if it is not filling the template area, you can click on the image and some options will open at the bottom. Scroll to the right and select “Fill as background”. This will re-size the image to fit into the template area

4. You will see an option called “Effects” at the bottom. Select that.

5. Clicking “Effects” will open a bunch of pro tools at the bottom. Click on the “BG Remover” option.

6. Simply click on “BG Remover” and it will remove the background of the image on phone automatically.

7. If for some reason the outlines of the subject are not well defined or some of the background is still showing, just use the “Adjustment” option at the bottom. You can also use the “Magic Eraser” option to get those refined. You can use the slider to increase or decrease the size of the eraser. For example, if you are trying to delete something between a curve, a smaller-sized eraser may be more precise to use there.
