🧽 How to Remove the Background from an Image Using Remove.bg (Free Canva Method)
If you're using the free version of Canva, you won’t have access to Canva’s built-in background remover. But don’t worry — Remove.bg is a free, browser-based tool that does the job just as well.
It’s fast, automatic, and perfect for creating transparent backgrounds for product mockups, social posts, and more.
🌐 Step 1: Go to Remove.bg
Open your browser and head to https://www.remove.bg.
📤 Step 2: Upload Your Image
Click Upload Image and select the file from your computer.
You can also drag and drop the image into the upload box.
Remove.bg will automatically detect and remove the background from your photo — no editing required.
🎨 Step 3: Edit or Download
Once the background is removed, you have two options:
-
Create Design: Open the edited image directly in Canva for further design work
-
Download: Save the transparent image (typically 500×500 px for free users)
💡 Pro tip: For higher-res downloads, you'll need a Remove.bg account or credits — but the free version works great for most basic design needs.
