Editing Photos in Canva (background removal, outlines)
Go to your Uploads folder and click on the photo you want to use to place it on the template.
To remove the background, click the Background Remover button at the top of the editor. (Canva Pro required — see step 8 for a free alternative.)
To add an outline to your photo, click the photo, then click Edit. Under the Shadow section, select Outline and adjust the color, size, and intensity to your preference.
To replace the background image, go to your Uploads folder and drag and drop your desired image onto the template.
Double-click the background image to reposition it, then click anywhere outside of it to save.
To adjust how much the background image shows, click on it once and use the Transparency tool to lighten or darken it as needed.
Once you're happy with everything, click anywhere outside the design to save your changes.
