How Do You Use the Eraser in Canva?

Last updated on December 30, 2022 @ 2:49 pm

Erasing in Canva is easy! There are two ways to do this: using the Crop tool and the Eraser tool.

1. Crop tool

The “Crop tool” is usually utilized to remove the edges of an image and resize it. To use this, simply select the image and click on the “Crop” button at the top menu.

From there, click and drag on the handles around the image to remove the edge parts. Once finished, just select “Done” at the top-left corner to save your changes.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, you can easily erase something in Canva that you did not mean to. Make sure that you are intentional about what you are erasing before you do so.

2. Eraser tool

Another tool that you can use to erase in Canva is the “Eraser tool” which can be found within the “Background Remover tool” settings.

To get started, just click on the image and select the “Edit image” button at the top-left corner of the page.

In the left menu, select the “Background Remover tool” and wait for the process to finish.

Once done, select the “Erase” option in the Background Remover tool settings.

Then, click and drag on top of the parts of your image that you want to erase. When you’re satisfied with the changes, just select the “Done” button to save your work!

NOTE: You can also change the “Brush size” to your preference using the slider at the left menu.

 

 

The Eraser tool is a great way to clean up your designs. It’s also handy for making minor adjustments to objects. So next time you’re in Canva, be sure to give it a try!
