Can I Have a Transparent Background in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 5:10 pm

Yes! You can have a transparent background in Canva.

To achieve this, simply create a new design using the “Transparent” background option. This can be found under the “Background” tab in the design editor.

Once you have selected the transparent background option, your design will automatically download with a .png file extension. PNGs are great for designs with transparent backgrounds because they preserve transparency when exported.

So there you have it! You can now create beautiful designs with transparent backgrounds in Canva.

PRO TIP: If you are working on a design in Canva and you want to have a transparent background, be aware that this is not possible. You can export your design as a PNG file which will have a transparent background, but this should be done with caution. Exporting as a PNG will result in a lower quality image, so it is best to only use this file format if absolutely necessary.

Creating designs with transparent backgrounds is a great way to add an extra layer of style to your work. And with Canva, it’s easy to do!
