By: ChangeImageTo.com Team ·

Canva has a built-in background remover that works well for simple images. Here's how to use it effectively.

Remove background in Canva (step-by-step)

  1. Upload your image to Canva or drag it from the Photos tab.
  2. Select the image and click Edit image (or Effects).
  3. Click Background remover in the left panel.
  4. Canva will automatically detect and remove the background.
  5. Use Restore and Erase brushes to refine edges.
  6. Click Apply when satisfied.

Note: Background remover is available on Canva Pro ($15/month) or with free trial.

Free alternative for Canva users

  1. Use our free Remove Background tool.
  2. Download the PNG with transparent background.
