The Magic Eraser

The Magic Eraser

Looking to edit your photos but feeling overwhelmed by complicated tools? Canva has you covered with their Magic Eraser feature! Say goodbye to unwanted objects and people in your photos with just one click.

Here is How it works:

  1. Begin by accessing Canva’s photo editor by selecting “Create a design” and then “Import file” to upload the photo that you will edit. This will open up a world of endless possibilities for editing your photos.
  2. Once you have uploaded your image to Canva, click on the “Effects” tab located on the left-hand side of the editor. From there, you can select the “Magic Eraser” tool, which will allow you to easily remove unwanted objects or people from your photo with just one click.
  3. Customize your brush size by adjusting the slider on the bottom left corner of the screen. This will allow you to precisely target the areas of the photo that you want to erase.
  4. Carefully brush over the objects or people that you want to remove from your photo. As you do so, you’ll notice that Canva’s powerful artificial intelligence will automatically detect the object and remove it from your image with just one click.
  5. Once you have finished erasing unwanted elements from your photo, click on “Reset Erasings” to undo your edits or click the back arrow beside Magic Eraser from the side panel to go back to editing your design.
  6. When you’re satisfied with the final result, download your photo by clicking on the “Share” button at the top right corner of the screen and choose “Download”. You can choose from a variety of formats, including JPG, PNG, PDF, and GIF, so you can easily share your edited photo on social media or use it for personal or professional projects.

Below is a sample photo where we used the Magic Eraser. We remove the man and two women near the subject of the photo. It took us more than three strokes of the eraser to remove them completely. Brushing the images is not hard, so do not get disappointed when your desired result did not happen on the first try, just brush the image again and you will definitely get there.
