Can Canva Use Transparent Background?

Last updated on December 4, 2022 @ 5:54 pm

Yes, Canva can use transparent backgrounds. You can add a transparent background to any image by selecting the “Use Transparent Background” option in the Advanced Settings menu.

This will make the background of the image transparent, allowing you to use it on top of other images or colors. You can also add a text box on top of the image and style it with the < p >, < b >, and < u > tags to create a custom look.

To add a transparent background to an image:

  1. Open the image in Canva.
  2. Click on the “Advanced Settings” icon in the top-right corner of the image.
  3. Select the “Use Transparent Background” option from the menu.
  4. Click “Apply” to save your changes.

Adding a text box on top of an image with a transparent background:

  1. Open the image in Canva.
  2. Click on the “Text” tab in the left sidebar.
  3. Click “Add Heading” or “Add Subheading” from the options at the top of the page.
  4. Enter your text and style it using the options in the toolbar above.

Canva is a great way to add custom flair to your images!

PRO TIP: Canva does not support transparent backgrounds. Any images or elements added to your design will have a solid color background.
