Canva is a digital design tool that allows you to create templates for your social media posts, websites, and more. In this post, we’re going to teach you how to remove audio from a video in Canva. This is a great skill to have if you’re going to be making sales videos or creating any kind of online content.

Let’s start!

How to remove audio from a video in Canva

There are a few different ways that you can remove audio from a video in Canva. One way is to use the ‘Mute’ button that is located in the bottom left-hand corner of the video player.

This will mute the audio of the video but will not remove it completely. If you want to remove the audio completely, you will need to export the video as an MP4 file and then use video editing software to remove the audio track.

Another way to remove audio from a video in Canva is to use the ‘Extract Audio’ button that is located in the bottom right-hand corner of the video player. This will allow you to save the audio from the video as an MP3 file, which you can then delete from the video.

This method will also remove any background music that was added to the video.

If you want to keep the background music in the video but want to remove the narration or dialogue, you can use the ‘Trim’ button that is located in the top left-hand corner of the video player. This will allow you to cut out sections of the video that contain narration or dialogue.

You can then add your own narration or dialogue over top of the background music.

Canva as a video editor: Pros and Cons

You don’t need to be a professional video editor to create professional-looking videos with Canva’s video editor. Using Canva’s extensive library of ready-made templates or from scratch, you can make videos just like you would make a PowerPoint presentation. You can use your own media or stock photos, videos, elements, and music from Canva’s library to make a polished video.

Pros

  • Massive stock of videos and images that can be used without paying permission fees
  • Watermark-free MP4 and GIF video files are available for download.
  • Accessible by others for viewing/editing.
  • Slides can easily incorporate a variety of media types.
  • There are free tools, and then there are the ones that require payment.

Cons

  • It’s not easy to find the premium content in your slides if you’ve inadvertently included it in your project and now need to remove it.
  • No tools for modifying the audio length.
  • You can only use HD quality and the 16:9 aspect ratio by default (1920×1080 pixels).

So, is Canva good for video editing?

Canva is an intuitive graphic design platform perfect for making high-quality artwork for both physical and digital products. It’s simple to make unique designs thanks to its extensive set of features and premade layouts. Canva is inexpensive, with a free plan providing all the fundamental tools for making basic designs.

If you or your company are looking for a simple, yet effective design tool, Canva is a fantastic option.

PRO TIP: If you are using Canva to remove audio from a video, be aware that this will permanently remove the audio from the video. This cannot be undone, so be sure you really want to do this before proceeding.
