With the help of Canva’s eraser tool, you can erase any element from your image without affecting the surrounding area. This is perfect for when you want to remove something from a photo without ruining the rest of the image.
Here’s how to erase something from a photo using Canva:
PRO TIP: If you are planning on erasing something from a photo in Canva, be aware that this may result in the loss of some image quality. Additionally, it is important to make sure that the area you are erasing is well-defined, or else you may end up with an unwanted result.
- Upload your image into the Canva editor. You can upload an image from your computer, or select one from our library of over 1 million stock photos.
- Click on “Elements” in the left sidebar and then select the “Eraser” tool.
- Click and drag the eraser tool over the element you want to remove. As you move your cursor over the photo, you’ll see the area being erased in real-time.
- Repeat step 3 until you’ve removed all of the elements you want to erase. You can also use the “Undo” button in the top toolbar if you make a mistake.
- (Optional) Add new elements to your design.
Once you’ve erased everything you wanted to remove, you can add new elements to your design using the “Elements” tool.
- (Optional) Change the background. If you want to change the background of your image, click on “Backgrounds” in the left sidebar and select a new background. You can also upload your own image as a background.
- (Optional) Download or share. When you’re happy with your design, click on “Download” in the top toolbar to save it as a PNG or JPG file. You can also share your design directly on social media or via email.
