Canva Background Remover, known in the editor as BG Remover, removes distracting backgrounds in one click right inside Canva. It automatically detects people, animals and objects and leaves the subject on a transparent layer.
Remove, refine and redesign
- One-click removal from the editor toolbar.
- Erase and restore brushes to fine-tune the cutout.
- New backgrounds from Canva's stock library or your own uploads.
- Upload JPG, PNG, HEIC or HEIF and export a high-resolution transparent PNG.
Background removal in your design workflow
Because it lives inside Canva, you can drop the cutout straight into presentations, social posts, ads and print designs, then add text, effects and brand elements. A Video Background Remover is also available on Canva Pro. remove.bg, a Canva brand, is also moving into Canva. For anyone already designing in Canva, it is the most convenient AI background remover.
