There are a few different ways that you can remove the background of a GIF in Canva. One way is to use the ‘Background Remover’ tool.

To access this tool, first click on the ‘Edit’ button in the top left-hand corner of the main Canva screen. Then, select ‘Background Remover’ from the drop-down menu.

Once you’ve selected the ‘Background Remover’ tool, you can use it to remove the background from your GIF in a few different ways. You can either erase the background manually by clicking on the areas you want to remove, or you can automatically remove the background by clicking on the ‘Auto Remove Background’ button.

If you want to manually erase the background, you can do so by clicking on the ‘Erase’ button and then clicking and dragging your mouse over the areas of the GIF that you want to remove. You can also use the ‘Marker’ tool to mark specific areas of the GIF that you want to keep or remove. Once you’ve marked all of the areas you want, click on the ‘Apply Changes’ button in order to save your changes.

If you want to automatically remove the background, simply click on the ‘Auto Remove Background’ button and wait a few seconds for Canva to do its magic. Once it’s finished, you can check out your newly created transparent GIF by clicking on the ‘Preview’ button in the top right-hand corner of the screen. If you’re happy with what you see, click on the ‘Download’ button to save your GIF to your computer.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, removing a GIF background in Canva can result in the deletion of important image data. Make sure to backup your image before attempting to remove the background.

Conclusion:

Overall, there are a few different ways that you can go about removing a GIF’s background in Canva. You can either use Canva’s ‘Background Remover’ tool or try erasing or marking specific areas of the GIF manually. Additionally, there’s also an ‘Auto Remove Background’ button that does all of this for you automatically.
