Using the Background Remover Tool

To use the Background Remover tool, follow these steps:

1. Open Canva Pro and upload the image you want to edit.
2. Select the image by clicking on it.
3. In the toolbar on the right, click on the "Background Remover" icon, which looks like a magic wand.
4. Canva will automatically remove the background. You can refine the selection by using the "Eraser" and "Brush" tools if needed.

Think of the Background Remover tool as a digital assistant that helps you clean up your photos by removing unwanted backgrounds with just a few clicks.

Adjusting the Background Remover Settings

Canva Pro allows you to fine-tune the Background Remover settings for better results. Here's how:

1. After activating the Background Remover tool, you'll see options to adjust the "Sensitivity" and "Smoothing" settings.
2. Sensitivity controls how much of the background is removed. Increase it to remove more background, or decrease it to preserve more details.
3. Smoothing helps to clean up any rough edges. Increase it for a smoother transition between the subject and the new background.

Adjusting these settings is like fine-tuning a recipe to get the perfect flavor. You can tweak the ingredients to achieve the desired outcome.

Applying Background Remover to Multiple Images

Canva Pro also allows you to apply the Background Remover tool to multiple images at once. Here's how:

1. Upload all the images you want to edit into Canva Pro.
2. Select all the images by holding down the "Shift" key and clicking on each image.
3. Click on the "Background Remover" icon in the toolbar.
4. Canva will process all selected images simultaneously, saving you time.

Applying the Background Remover to multiple images is like delegating tasks to a team. You can handle multiple projects at once, ensuring efficiency and consistency.
