Removing Backgrounds and Resizing Designs with AI
Swipe to show menu
Background Remover strips the background from a photo in a single click, which is useful for product shots, profile pictures, or layering an object over a new scene. Magic Switch takes that a step further by resizing an entire design for a different platform while keeping the layout sensible.
Removing a background:
- Select a photo on your canvas;
- Open Edit photo → Background Remover;
- Canva isolates the main subject automatically;
- Use the eraser or restore brush to fine-tune the edges if needed.
Resizing with Magic Switch:
- Click Resize on the top menu bar;
- Pick a target format, such as Instagram Story or A4 document;
- Canva rearranges text and images to fit the new dimensions;
- Review each generated version and adjust any element that looks cramped.
Magic Switch does not guarantee a perfect layout on every format. Always open each resized version and check that text has not been cropped or overlapped.
Combining both tools is common in practice: remove a product's background first, then use Magic Switch to produce a square post, a vertical story, and a banner from the same base design.
