Background Remover for Canva Pro:

To remove the background from an image, upload the image you wish to use.

Then, click on the photo from your uploads to the left to bring it into the design.

With the image selected, click Edit Image from the top toolbar.

Then click BG Remover

Click BG Remover again to touch-up any areas you want restored or removed.

Or simply copy and paste it in Canva directly into a C&C template.

How to Put Text Behind an Image for a 3D Look

This is called Positioning

We use positioning to give the template a 3D feel.

This involves moving text in front and/or behind an element or image.

To position elements, click on the element you would like to arrange and click Position on the toolbar.

On the Arrange Tab, you can send the element Forward or Backward.
