How Do You Cut People Out of Canva?

Last updated on March 2, 2023 @ 10:56 am

It’s easy to cut people out of Canva using the built-in tools. Here’s how:

1. Select the image

First, select the image that you want to edit. You can do this by clicking on the image in the project editor.

2. Select the “Background Remover” tool

Next, click on the “Background Remover” tool in the image editor panel on the left.

Apply changes. The remaining image with the removed background will serve as the guide for the outline of the cut-out.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to cut people out of Canva for any reason, please be aware that this can be a difficult and time-consuming process. There are a few things you need to keep in mind when attempting to cut people out of Canva:

1. The background and foreground colors need to be different. If they are not, the person you are trying to cut out will likely have a halo effect around them.

2. Make sure the person you are cutting out is in the center of the image. This will make it easier to select them with the lasso tool.

3. Use a solid color when cutting out the person. This will help you have the cut out more detailed and noticeable.

4. Be patient! Cutting people out of Canva can take some time and practice to get perfect.

3. Add an Element background to the image

Now, use the “Elements” tab and choose an element to add as a background to your image then place it behind the image.

4. Apply Duotone Cherry Effect

To create a cut out of people in Canva, we can use the Duotone Cherry Effect. To do this, simply click on the “Edit image” button at the top and go to the “You may also like” section then select the “Duotone” effect.

Once you’re connected to the Duotone Effect, select the “Cherry” variation then click on the settings icon that will appear in the effect itself.

In the Cherry Effect settings, select the color “White” for both Highlights and Shadows. Apply changes.

And there you have it!

Conclusion:

Cutting people out in Canva is simple and easy using built-in tools such as the Background Remover tool, Elements, and Duotone Effect.
